An elderly relative of Baron Munchausen believes there is a country where giants live. He asks him to find it and promises to reward him with an impressive inheritance.

The baron travels by ship to the Southern Ocean. On the 18th day, a violent storm came up. It lifted the ship into the sky. It flew higher and higher. After six weeks of flight, the travelers saw a round sparkling island, which turned out to be the moon.

The heroes landed on the lunar shore. They were surrounded by large beasts riding three-headed eagles. These birds served the natives instead of horses. At this time the king of the moon was at war with the emperor of the sun. He invited Munchausen to lead his army into battle, but he refused.

Everything on the moon turned out to be much larger than on earth. Flies were the size of sheep and apples the size of watermelons. The inhabitants used radishes and pigeon eggs in battle. They used flies instead of shields. The moon dwellers did not waste time on food. On the left side of their belly was a special door into which they put their food.
