A storm sweeps over the small town on the cliff, sending trees, bicycles, and even toilets swirling through the air. The worst hit is little Mr. Rumpelpumpel. His house is carried away by the wind to a lonely mountain peak. Fortunately, General K. Putt and the townspeople can be relied upon. They supply him with everything one needs to live via a winch: pot holders, turntables, unicycles, horseshoes. It's just unfortunate that Mr. Rumpelpumpel's house is getting heavier and heavier. And then the little man has to sneeze.
