The story

Twins Karo and Klaro live with their father, Klaus Klicker, who works hard at his bicycle shop to pay off rent arrears after their mother’s death. Their aunt Dagmar, a zoo director, helps care for them. At the zoo, the twins meet Thomas, who hopes to write a book in a secret underground hideout. Karo and Klaro want to help, developing the idea of a talking bicycle that can solve detective cases. A visit to a flea market leads them to a glowing orb, which their family wins at auction. The object proves to be the mysterious “Tom Tempo,” and two crooks are also after it.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

Karo and Klaro are lively twins. Since their mother’s death, their father, Klaus Klicker, has tried to be there for them as much as possible. He works hard at his own bicycle shop to pay off the rent arrears. Meanwhile, his sister Dagmar, the director of the zoo, looks after Karo and Klaro. It is there that the twins first meet Thomas, and they are immediately taken with him. He has a secret underground writing hideout at the zoo and wants to write a new book there. Karo and Klaro are instantly enthusiastic and want to help Thomas with their creativity. Karo loves drawing sketches and comics, while Klaro takes on the technical inventor role. Together, they come up with the idea for a super bike: a bicycle that can talk and solve detective cases. The two get straight to work. But their excitement is dampened by Emma Fingergold, a former schoolmate of Klaus’s. It seems there is a spark between Emma and Klaus, which Karo and Klaro do not like at all. When Klaro happens upon a flea market, the twins are almost impossible to stop, they are so curious. At one stall, they discover a glowing orb. Thanks to his inventive streak, Klaro is immediately fascinated, and the Klicker family bids for the orb and wins it. But it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary orb. It is the mysterious “Tom Tempo,” and that is when the “turbulent” adventure really begins. The crooks Rudi Ratte and Fritz Fantom, who are being pestered by Aunt Freda Fantom, are also hunting for “Tom Tempo.” Only with “Tom Tempo” can the crooks bring the ultimate rob-and-plunder robot to life. But getting hold of “Tom Tempo” is not easy at all!
