Mr Tau is imprisoned in the Lost and Found shop. The shopkeeper has realized what the bowler hat can do and has made a comfortable life for himself with it. He has modernized the shop, magicked up a luxury car, and now lives in a castle. He has even bet a great deal of money on an outsider in a horse race and made sure by magic that the horse wins. But he is still obsessed with his money; he sleeps on it and guards it with a loaded rifle. The children organize a search to save Mr Tau. A clever little dog Žerýk gets into the castle during the night and with the help of other canine friends manages to switch the magic bowler hat with an ordinary one. In the morning, the shopkeeper wakes up on a dustheap. His money and all the things he has acquired using the magic bowler have disappeared. The children free their beloved Mr Tau and joyfully take to the Prague streets with him.
The story Mr Tau and Thousand Spells was distributed in cinemas in a block with two other stories: Search for Mr Tau and Mr Tau and a Taxi Driver.
