In his stone age-dream the famous elephant Benjamin Bluemchen saves a mammoth baby before it gets cooked in the stockpot of the cave master; runs over a nice dinosaur and invents the wheel - apropos of nothing. When waking up he meets Bibi Blocksberg and won't believe she's a little good with. She can fly with her broom and that is the bee's knees for Benjamin. Further adventures include a balloon flight with his friend Otto and the bigheaded baron Zwiebelschreck.
