A stone falling down from the roof destroys the mummy's tomb and so the mayor has the crypt sealed off. uite by chance, hos son Marco discovers a strange symbol in a niche in one wall. When he tries to wipe away the dust, a flat stone in the wall swings open and a magical force draws the boy into a time tunnel.

Marco lands up in the year 1766, where he meets his great-great-great-great-grandfather, Wilhelm. He also gets to know beautiful Marie. Marco and Wilhelm are so alike they could be twins, and they decide to journey through time together. But it soon turns out that two centuries be bridged so easily. The complications increase when Marie becomes seriously ill and Marco has to take his cousin, a trainee doctor, back with him into the year 1766. Time is against them, for soon the crypt is to be demolished ... (Catalogue Golden Sparrow Festival Erfurt/Gera 2003)
