»Get the animals out of Müggeldorf!«, the inhabitants of the small city cry. An illustrious group of animals led by Turtle, the tortoise, and Grrmpf, the wild boar, are not willing to let the humans get the upper hand and fight to gain rule of the small city.

Turtle was just sitting peacefully in his terrarium at the McGreen on the highway when he suddenly found himself rolling over the asphalt on the outskirts of Berlin. King Kurt, a man of quick decisions, decided that a tortoise was not a suitable pet, and he threw Turtle out of the window of his moving car. And thatis how he lands on the street, upside down, beginning to panic when he notices the fox that is getting closer to take a look. Yet Turtle gets lucky and meets a group of wild and less wild animals, who are running around in Müggeldorf and who kindly take him in. Even if they can’t agree on lots of things – they at least all have one common goal: Müggeldorf should belong to the animals!
