In 1994, the Royal Youth Theatre of Antwerp made a theatrical musical based on the Belgian comic series 'Suske en Wiske'. Professor Barabas is working on a fantastic new invention: the Star Tapper. The invention is not quite ready yet, but Wiske, curious as ever, can't wait to test the device. Of course, this goes completely wrong, because Krimson, meaner than ever, is also back. An adventurous journey takes the friends via the time machine to the Mayans, ancient Egypt and China.
