Small Claudie lost a figurine of Mr Tau. Her grandfather offers a great reward to the finder. This information together with an amateurish Claudie's drawing spreads around the whole world. Mr Tau is searched also by Emil's bunch of children, who also like the magic little man. Claudie makes friends with the children. While they are searching together the children are brought by the smart dog Žerýk to the shop Lost and Found Property. The morose boss has the figurine, but when the children tell him that the figurine can conjure, he does not give it to them. He learns how to deal with the bowler hat and he starts conjuring. He keeps Mr Tau who grew in a human size in his warehouse. He does not know that the surrounding of the house is watched by Žerýk and other dogs.
The story Search for Mr. Tau was distributed in cinemas in a block of two other stories: Mr. Tau and Thousand Spells and Mr. Tau and a Taxi Driver.
