One Saturday, the Slurb, a strange little creature with a proboscis nose, enters Mr. Taschenbiers life. Slurb, who immediately adopts the shy Mr. Taschenbier as his daddy, is, however, his sheer opposite: he is cheeky and chaotic and throws his well-ordered life into sheer chaos. But when Taschenbier discovers that he can fulfill all his wishes with the help of Slurbs blue freckles, his life suddenly changes. He appeases his bad-tempered landlady, Mrs. Rotkohl, and he can finally get one over on his nasty neighbor, Mr. Lürcher. Everything could be so nice if Mr. Taschenbier didnt fall in love with his pretty colleague Mrs. März and if the Slurb didnt almost burst with jealousy...
