Vicky the Viking

For the first time the Vikings come back home with no loot. The wonderful treasures they saw in Greenland lie buried under eternal ice. The team is distressed, they have not even the smallest gift for their wives. They also fear for their honor. Only Vicky is looking forward to Flake. When they discover a small island on the way, they hope to at least find something to eat. But it's just a stranded baby whale, they finally returned to her mother. Shortly thereafter, they are pursued by Sven and his men. But at the last moment Vicky has once again one of his good ideas. With the help of the grateful mother whale they can escape Sven again.

On board the Viking ship, there is nothing left to eat, and the crew has not yet reached Flake. When Snorre and Tjure catch a sick seagull and intend to eat it, Wickie can only barely prevent them from doing so. He takes care of the seagull, nurses it back to health, and sets it free. Fortunately for Halvar and his men, when Sven ambushes them and it seems like there is no escape this time, the seagull comes to their rescue in the very last minute...

The Vikings are off again. On the way they meet up with a Greek ship from which they hope to loot a load of treasure. But the captain persuades them very charmingly to accompany him back to Greece where they will receive the King's treasures. The Vikings fall for this trick and the King draws them into a labyrinth where they indeed find marvelous treasures, but are unable to get out with them.

The Vikings are still trapped with their treasures in the castle moat of the Greek king and do not know how they can escape. The cunning king proposes a contest to Halvar; if the Vikings win, then he promises to let them go. The Vikings do actually win the contest; however, the Greek king thinks up another trick to keep Halvar and his companions trapped.

When the Vikings do finally arrive in Flake they are dismayed to find the village deserted. The children have hidden in the wood and the women have disappeared. Finally, Halvar learns that the Danes have invaded the village that night and taken the women as hostages back to Denmark.

The Vikings try to marry off Faxe, as Halvar has already chosen the bride. Unfortunately, Faxe is very shy, and a misunderstanding occurs, putting everything at risk of going wrong. Faxe is faced with a test of courage. He is supposed to dive to the bottom of the sea to retrieve a piece of jewelry. Wickie comes up with the idea of building a diving bell. Faxe finds the jewelry and is able to present it to the chosen bride, who is very proud of her brave groom...

Ylva is very impressed by Mr. Lumperich who pays them a visit one day. She finds him quite charming. Besides, he has brought along some treasures which he gives to the villagers. But too late the Vikings discover that Mr. Lumperich only wants to fool them with his presents. So it happens that thanks to Vickie again the matter with Mr. Lumperich has a happy ending for the Vikings.

Every year there is a bitter fight between both the villages of Flake and Schlack to decide which village will be allowed to celebrate the annual Viking festival. Yet, Vickie, the son of the Viking Chieftain of Flake and Finn and the son of the Viking Chieftain of Schlack, cannot understand why the festival cannot be celebrated together by both villages.

The Vikings set off on a long journey; they intend visiting Russia. But on the way they are caught in a great storm during which Vickie is hit by a gust of wind and blown away with the broken off mast and a sail over the sea onto a small deserted island. His friends, the seals, trace his whereabouts so that now at least he is not that lonesome.

Vickie is still stranded on the island onto he has been driven by the storm. He is wondering what has happened to the Vikings and their ship. Finally, together with the seals he goes out in search of them, but there is no trace to be found of Halvar and his men. The mood of the Vikings has reached rock bottom - their ship lies wrecked on the shore and Halvar is ill with sorrow.

The Vikings have landed on a new continent; they are delighted at this new discovery. But when the Vikings set out to scout the new land they discover that they are not alone here; they are captured by Indians and the otherwise so courageous Vikings learn what it is to be afraid.

The Vikings are guests of the Winca Indians and are enjoying the hospitality of the chieftain and the village inhabitants. The Vikings are amazed at all they see; the peaceful Wincas are talented craftsmen and have made their village practical and comfortable. The Vikings can surprise the Wincas with a great technical novelty.

On the way back to Flake, there is a lot of revelry. The captured wine flows abundantly, and everyone is excited to return home. However, upon arriving in Flake, they are shocked to find the village deserted. The children have hidden in the forest, and the women are missing. Eventually, Halvar learns that the Danes have raided the village and taken the women hostage to Denmark. The Vikings set off to Denmark to free their women...

The golden haired Snoppe is furious at Halvar because he has escaped. Snoppe is determined to fight the Vikings and the Winka Indians. The Vikings ponder on how they can get rid of Snoppe with-out a fight - under no circumstances do they want the peaceful Winkas to be plundered. But Fortune smiles upon the Vikings and Snoppe is forced to abandon his position.

Celebrations are being held in the Winka village. The golden haired Snoppe has lost his curls and is forced to retreat at the ridicule of his soldiers. Soon Snoppe's soldiers head out to sea with the shame-faced Snoppe and now the time has also come for Halvar and his men to return home. They have overspent their stay with the peaceful Winkas.

In Flake a circus has pitched its tents and there is much excitement. The village inhabitants participate in the program providing hilarious entertainment, and many a surprise. But the fun is interrupted by the arrival of the tax man and his officials and it is only thanks to the circus artists that he makes a quick retreat with the promise never to collect taxes again in Flake.

Halvar from Flake and Baltac from Schlack have a violent quarrel as to who will be chosen as the chieftain of all chieftains. In the end they declare war on each other. With great haste both villages prepare for war. Baltac has much to defend since he has borne the title for 20 years. But Halvar, too, moves heaven and earth so that he at last can become chieftain of all.

Halvar and Baltac are making big plans: this time they intend combining forces and setting on a joint marauding expedition. But for the moment it is the womenfolk from Flake who are thwarting their plans.They are of the opinion that their men should help them more with their work. With Vickie's support Ylva is going to give the Vikings something to think about.

One day Vickie and Ylva find a strange man on the beach who has been washed ashore. He is a messenger of the Bulgarian king with an urgent plea for the Vikings to help the king against the dangerous Grey Men. So the Vikings set out and actually succeed in penetrating the camp of the Grey Men and reaching the Bulgarian king.

The Vikings are keeping watch on the fortress of the Bulgarian king. They are expecting another attack from the dangerous Grey Men. And sure enough: they discover in the nick of time that the Grey Men have dug a tunnel in order to penetrate the fortress unseen. Now of all things when everyone is counting on him for a brain-wave Vickie comes down with a terrible tooth-ache.

Bullermann is furious because the Grey Men have been routed for the second time by the Vikings. He has sworn to revenge himself on the men from Flake. The Vikings prepare themselves for another attack of the Grey Men and this time Bullermann hopes that the fortress and the whole land will fall into his hands.

Bullermann has now been defeated for the third time, but he will not give up fighting the Vikings. He is determined to storm the fortress and becomes more enraged after each attack. So the war continues. Bullermann lays all his hopes in a new plan for attack and believes that he will be able to take the fortress by evening.

The war against the Graymen is still not over. After his last defeat, Bullermann has devised a brilliant plan - a gigantic wooden horse, as big as a house, to deceive the Vikings. Bullermann believes he is on the verge of victory, but the story takes an unexpected turn...

After an adventurous journey to the North Pole the Vikings get stuck in a sea of ice. Their supplies have run out, they have already burnt the planks of the decks as fuel to warm themselves. In short their situation is desperate. But in the nick of time they are saved in this deserted territory when they meet an eskimo family.

The Vikings enticed by a fat booty, walk into a trap and are taken prisoners by the Dutchking who has definite plans for them: in the future they are to drain his flooded land of seawater.

Halvar and his men have set out to seek a lonely island in the far South on which such costly treasures like diamonds are supposed to be found. The journey promises to be one of great adventure for the Vikings. On their journey home Ulme composes a splendid poem about mountains gushing forth fire, dragons and of course about the valiant Viking heroes.
