Pumuckl spontaneously decides to go exploring and leaves the workshop on his own. After an unintended boat ride on the Isar and his first pranks, he realizes: he’s gotten lost.
Pumuckl discovers the big city and leaves behind a trail of little pranks. Along the way, he even encounters a dinosaur and a mummy…
Pumuckl ends up at the zoo during his journey of discovery through the city, where he befriends the animals and causes a huge commotion. But his homesickness keeps growing—and to make matters worse, he even gets kidnapped…
All Pumuckl really wants is to go back home, but hunger keeps distracting him. In a particularly dangerous situation, he even fears he might never find his way back to the workshop.
The search for the way back continues. In a bookstore, Pumuckl gets into trouble with little elves and cats, and at an outdoor pool he stuffs himself with ice cream. Needless to say, he causes chaos wherever he goes.
After all the pranks and mischief, Pumuckl wants only one thing: to return to the workshop. When he suddenly spots the familiar church again, the way home seems within reach—but will the little kobold really make it back?
