Krash and Chiko are riding on a train that goes from Smesharovo Station and makes a loop around the village before going back. Krash is annoyed by this, saying that the train needs to actually lead somewhere. During the preparation for a yet another ride, Krash asks Chiko to get him a one-way ticket just to test if it would actually do something. Olga, who is a ticket inspector on the train, is shocked by this, saying that she already had a similar incident, with a passenger taking a one-way ticket and disappearing forever. However, Carlin, who is also boarding the train, suggests that the passenger was simply too old when he arrived back and Olga didn't recognise him.
Krash then decides to take some rest, and when he wakes up, he finds that the train has been abandoned, and is riding to a distant desert. His friends assume he died, and turn his house into a museum. However, Krash later returns, seemingly from a big journey, and with a new view on the railroad - it's not actually about where you go, but about the fun you have getting there.
Tropes:
- Ambiguous Situation: The train Krash was sitting on ended up in the desert. However, that same train everyone else was on somehow returned to its destination safely, without Krash in sight.
- No Doubt the Years Have Changed Me: It's implied that the passenger Olga had witnessed buying a one-way ticket was Carlin. It's further solidified by the inclusion of a similar ticket laying around in his house. The theory was later
confirmed by Sergey Mardar, Carlin and Olga's original voice actor. - Shout-Out: In the English dub, Krash thinks the train was supposed to take them to magic school.
