<p>Gretl complains about Casperl's absence, as he always comes home late and very drunk. When he finally arrives, she gets angry and wishes he would go to the Gold Star or the Silver Moon (these are the names of the taverns Casperl frequents) and never return. Her wish seems to come true when a small gold star appears to Casperl asleep and takes him against his will to the moon. At the end of an adventurous journey through different regions of the sky, Casperl is welcomed by the moon; but, exhausted, he falls asleep. When he wakes up, he is in his bed. Did his cosmic journey ever take place? No matter: Casperl resumes his tour of the taverns on behalf of the drinkers' association founded the day before and which has elected him inspector of drinking establishments.</p>

Casperls Mondfahrt

Casperl's moon trip

<p>The Professor discovered how to use atomic energy to power interplanetary flights. With his rocket and Kasperle, he wants to fly to Eros and trusts the Doktor (Doctor) to watch over his laboratory. The latter steals his calculations, and pairs with Death and the Devil to produce atomic energy in order to sell it. On Eros, a minor planet inhabited by beings who carefully watch what happens on Earth and are concerned about the violence of its inhabitants, the Professor and Kasperle learn that the Earth is in danger because of a new type of energy. They quickly go back and discover that the city has been destroyed. In a different version, Death and the Devil run away after being exposed by Kasperle; in another one, the wrongdoers are sent to space where they will stay forever.</p>
