Timo und Korgy fliegen ins All. Naja, nicht in Wirklichkeit, sondern in einem Simulator. Die beiden Freunde wundern sich nur, wie unfassbar realistisch sich ihr Trip in die Weiten des Universums anfühlt. Ein kleines bisschen zu echt... Könnte es sein, dass sie die Erde vielleicht doch verlassen haben? Steig mit ein und finde es heraus.

Korgy kann nicht einschlafen. Der kleine Roboter bastelt deshalb mitten in der Nacht an einem neuen Motor für seinen Räderrucksack - und freut sich schon auf den nächsten Morgen, um die Konstruktion zu testen. Doch kurz nach Sonnenaufgang wartet auf Korgy und Timo plötzlich eine ganz andere Mission: Sie sollen auf Waldi aufpassen, den alten Dackel vom Nachbarhof. Kein Problem! Aber nebenbei machen die beiden Freunde eine unglaubliche Entdeckung.

Was tun, wenn kleine Roboter Schluckauf haben? Timo muss feststellen, dass die klassischen Hausmittelchen bei Korgy versagen. Die beiden Freunde machen sich also auf den Weg, um andere Methoden auszuprobieren. Das führt sie unter anderem in eine Tropfsteinhöhle... Ob Korgys Hicks-Problem dort gelöst werden kann? Finde es heraus! (Aber pass auf die Fledermäuse auf...).

Timo und sein Freund Korgy haben ein neues Projekt: Der kleine Roboter soll ausklappbare Räder bekommen.

Ob Timo und Korgy das Problem lösen können? Aber klar doch! Denn unerwartete Hilfe erhalten die beiden ausgerechnet von einer kleinen Fliege, die in Korgys Dachgeschosszimmer herumschwirrt.

Ein neues, spannendes Abenteuer für Timo und Korgy: Die beiden Freunde legen einen regelrechten Erfindungsmarathon hin. Zu dumm nur, dass nicht eine einzige Erfindung funktioniert... Timo ist daher ziemlich angetan von Korgys Idee, mal etwas zu bauen, das schon viele Generationen vor ihnen begeistert hat: Ein Floss! Der kleine Roboter schlägt außerdem vor, damit dann auf dem Bach herumzuschippern und das Seefahrer-Epos "Die Torteninsel" nachzuspielen! "Die Torten-" ...was? Von diesem Film hat Timo tatsächlich noch nie gehört.
