The ghost of Zoltán is rewarded for a good life by being allowed to
drive the cog-wheel railway up and down the Buda hills at night. This
had been Zoltán's life ambition, and he is very happy. However, the
people living near the cog-wheel railway are worried why the railway is
running when it should be closed down for the night. So they call the
police, who try to set a trap for whoever is driving the railway. But
the trap does not work, as the police cannot see the ghost of Zoltán
driving the train. The local dogs and cats, who can see ghosts, welcome
Zoltán and the night journeys of the cog-wheel railway.
