Repetition.

A ten-year-old boy sits in front of an old radio and listens to a radio play. It tells the story of a fierce sea battle between two

Pirate captains and just as a ship's boy is trying to escape with the treasure map in the lifeboat, the radio cuts out. The boy searches for the transmitter. When he finds it again, a completely different story is told. On the back of a dragon, a wizard and his apprentice fly to an ancient elven city and want to decipher an old inscription at the bottom of a well. Then ravenous direwolves appear and circle the two of them. The programme breaks off again. Now Dad has to help, this radio is simply too old! Once the damage has been repaired, the boy hears a story about an old butler who digs up a mysterious book in a graveyard at midnight. Two children try to stop him, but just as the butler discovers them, there is a power cut and again we don't know what happens next in the story.
