The storyline is based on the folk tale Go I Know Not Whither and Fetch I Know Not What 　　Fedot, a strelets, serves at Tsar's court as the royal hunter. Tsar orders him to provide the game for his dinner with English embassinger. Fedot was unlucky: he got not a single bird. When he tried to shoot at least a dove, it turned into a beautiful maid, Marusia (Maria), which Fedot adopted as his wife. Marusia, possessing magical skills, saves her man from Tsar's punishment: she summons Tit Kuzmich and Frol Fomich (two magical servants being a sort of genie, who could and would perform anything Marusia orders), and they fill Tsar's table with food. 　　Tsar makes his diplomacy with the English noble, in hope to make him marry Tsar's daughter, the Princess, who is not beautiful enough to attract the suiters. Princess and her Nanny, an old angry woman, are not pleased and argue against the match with an ambassador, who seem greedy and stupid to them. 　　After the dinner, the General, leader of the secret police, arrives to the Tsar. He tells his senior about Fedot's new pretty wife, and Tsar begins to plan how to steal Marusia from Fedot. He orders General to find a task for Fedot which he would be impossible to complete and it would let Tsar to execute Fedot for incompetency. 　　General goes to the forest, where old witch Baba Yaga lives, and asks her advice. With her magic, Yaga finds the way. Tsar should order Fedot to bring him next day a magic carpet on which the whole Russia could be seen just like on a map. Tsar calls Fedot and orders him the carpet, Fedot feels low, but Marusia and her magic servants solve the problem and bring the carpet at morning. 　　Tsar, though trying to seem happy, is upset. He calls fo General again, threatening he will be punished if no plan will be given. General, also upset, goes back to Baba Yaga, who gives him another plan. Now Tsar orders Fedot to bring him next day a golden-horned deer, which is thought to not exist at all. But Marusia and her servants bring the deer as well. 　　Tsar forces General, General forces Yaga, and the final plan is prepared. The new task for Fedot is to find Something That Could Not Be in the World. Even Tit Kuzmich and Frol Fomich are unable to find a thing so loosely described. Fedot sets up to journey for his goal, leaving his young wife home. A few days later, Tsar, despite being continually mocked by the Nanny for this, arrives with the weeding gifts to Marusia. The young woman refuses to betray Fedot for old and vile Tsar, she turns into dove and flies away. 　　Fedot is wandering the world in quest for Something That Could Not Be. Shipwreck puts him on an uninhabited island. Its only master is a Voice, a bodyless yet powerful spirit, who is living a boring life: he can summon himself any good he wants, but only thing he longs for is human company. Fedot, realizing he found his goal, persuades the spirit to join his way back to Russian Tsar. 　　Returning home, Fedot discovers his house devastated by Tsar, and Marusia tells him about Tsar's harassment. Fedot calls to the simple Russian people to help him avenge the injustice, and they rise up. Crowd storms into Tsar's palace. Tsar, General and Baba Yaga, caught in charge, cowardly try to translate the guilt on two others. People sentence them to sail away in a bucket overseas. Then Fedot refuses a marriage offering from Princess, leaving her with his promise to find her another man, his twin. The tale ends up with the feast, supplied by Something-That-Could-Not-Be's magic.

军旅情景喜剧《大学生士兵的故事》续集讲述了几个大学生士兵在部队的成长过程。新兵连结束后，王大磊、魏语休、余丰、孙大鹏去做了机务兵。金子扬和徐帅在警卫连站了一年的岗，来喜在场务连赶了一年的鸟。为了充实机务队伍、提高机务人员的素质，他们三个经过院校机务培训分配到了机务中队一分队。王大磊做一分队代理分队长并带教金子扬、孙大鹏，魏语休带教来喜，余丰带教徐帅。故事是从三个新来的机务兵到机务中队第一天开始的。这些人不变的是各自的性格，但境遇各自差别很大，一起参军的战友成了师徒关系，有人要继续做个兵；有人由当兵到带兵；相同的学历不同的待遇；自己原来带的兵成了同事、上级、甚至竞争对手等等。王大磊是机务中队一分队代理队长，绰号青花瓷(古董之意)，他外表粗犷、性格耿直，但粗中有细，带兵经验丰富，经常会想出一些新奇的怪招。这次带大学生新兵，他感到了压力。这些兵已经是第二年的兵了，多数有提干的可能。王大磊自嘲一分队是干训队，每一天都可能有人摇身一变成他的领导。对他来说这是个带兵的过程，也是个不断学习的过程。与班里的每个人都发生过这样那样的矛盾，也替自己的兵顶雷受过，最后与一分队的战友们建立了深厚的感情。魏语休在新兵连结束后直接去接受机务培训，性格外向、外表张扬，认为自己是接替一分队长这个职务的不二人选，随时都有可能替代王大磊。他有一定的写作能力，爱向上级写信汇报思想和情况，总是找机会展现自己的才华。班长王大磊不喜欢他这种“嘴比手勤快”的兵，他也总认为是班长故意压制他，所以经常表面上讨好班长，暗中和班长作对。余丰和魏语休一样，新兵连结束后去接受机务培训，提干兵成了机械师，带教富二代的文艺兵徐帅。他依然是做事严谨、好钻牛角尖。来喜新兵连后在场务连赶了半年鸟，被调去机务培训后分到机务一分队，他外表憨厚，内在里有农民式的小狡猾，总担心被人瞧不起，他也想提干，在部队干下去，想做出成绩，但他总是习惯偷偷摸摸的努力，跟做坏事一样。每每在大家都不看好的情况下做出一鸣惊人的举动。他有曲艺表扬的天赋，偶尔会被借到上面去做表演，这让文艺兵徐帅十分嫉妒。孙大鹏性格外向，一嘴京片子，爱开玩笑，爱搞恶作剧。经常讲自己那个“员工多达三人的IT公司“。他对提干兴趣不大，有点儿混日子的意思。按他的话说服役期满后回去继续“给自己当老板”。王大磊认为他没有上进心，以“不想提干的士兵不是好士兵”来鼓励他上进，要他在部队干下去，孙大鹏改变了混日子的想法。金子扬绰号“金子”，东北人，经常装酷，其实很宽厚。军事基本技能好，到机务分队后他的优势发挥不出来，看着图纸、数据、各种开关仪表名称就头晕。但他还是王大磊心里最喜欢的兵，处处帮助他提高业务。他自嘲要完成体能向智能的转变。徐帅外号帅子，家庭条件好，参军的目的是想考部队艺术院校。典型的阳光大男孩，开朗、活泼，爱干净疑似洁癖，有些孩子气。到了机务分队，仍然一心想从事演艺之路，考军艺。属于一般不惹事，惹事不一般的主。刘干事原来是新兵连的文书，提干后到团部宣传科做宣传干事，他聪明机灵，幽默风趣，善于抓新闻点，经常把小事放大，有时就是他惹大的。为写《大学生士兵》系列报道每天来一分队体验生活，几乎成了一分队的一员。
