Bassie and Adriaan have been awarded for their different adventures they have experienced. The good news has been on the television and the message therefore also reaches the now very old Barron. He seeks revenge on his eternal arch rivals and engages his nephew De Jonkheer, who organizes a kidnapping with the crooks B1001 and Linke Leo. Meanwhile, Keet (Bassie's niece) and Koen find out about the disappearance and decide together with Robin the Robot and Constantina (Koen's aunt) to find the clown and the acrobat.
