Mysterious Story
18th-century town in Europe. A family is finishing their preparations for Christmas. But in the midst of the festive bustle, daughter becomes ill, and everyone forgets about her brother. The boy feels abandoned... The grieving parents return, and the boy realises that his sister is not coming back... In anger and despair, he rushes to the clock and breaks the big hand to prevent the holiday from coming. At that very moment, the world around him begins to transform. The boy turns into the evil Wizard Nebulon.
Christmas deja vu
A hundred years have passed, the same house. Another family is preparing for Christmas. The children are playing hide and seek, and son named Christopher is "it". With his eyes closed, he starts counting... Suddenly, the door of the clock opens and Wizard Nebulon appears. His magic makes the whole family disappear... The boy opens his eyes, but finds no one. Confused and shocked, he does not understand where his family has disappeared. Suddenly, Mouse appears in the room out of nowhere. The boy and Mouse try to find a common language. The boy tells the story of his family's disappearance, and Mouse, although she does not understand everything, begins to help him by pointing to the clock.
Journey between fantasy Worlds
Christopher and Mouse open the door of the clock and enter World of Noble Birds. Their journey takes them to Desert World, where they meet Bikers and learn about new challenges. From Bikers, their path leads to Underwater World. In each of these Worlds, exciting adventures await them, after which the team is enlarged with a new member. Finally, all the obstacles are overcome and the team of friends (now five of them) find themselves in Laboratory of evil Wizard Nebulon. In the heroic battle, friendship and faith in the power of goodness bring our travellers a long-awaited victory! All the captives, including Christopher's family, are rescued.
