When no one can see it, toys have fun themselves. Similarly to children, they love structures made of blocks. A modern skyscraper is built in the playroom at the third attempt. When no one can see it, toys have fun themselves. Teddy bears, dolls, a dog, a kitty, and a chimney sweep build a house using wooden blocks. Suddenly, the view is blocked by the massive legs of a rubber elephant. He glides relentlessly through the playroom, ruining the structure. The toys get over it and start to rebuild the building. Again, the elephant's legs destroy the whole structure. The chimney sweep opens the air plug and the giant elephant shrinks immediately. The construction looks impressive again. The toys feel sorry for the elephant, so they pump him up. He’s really glad and decides to be a liftboy. Finally, a modern skyscraper is completed. It has a recreation terrace on the roof. The elephant wants to be smaller himself in order to join the toys. A puppet film for children directed by Teresa Badzian, an actress-puppeteer. Adam Kilian was responsible for the set design. He was one of the leading Polish set designers cooperating with puppet theaters and animation studios.
