In a time of great famine and chaos after the World War II, there is an increase in robberies and looting, where police enforcement is futile against the bandits. Both the bandits and the police turn to magic for self-protection. Two brothers are separated as children and thrown into two different worlds – the dark, seedy world of the bandits and the other under the wing of the lawman, only to be reunited years later as enemies, where circumstances force them to fight each other, but for the same cause - to right the wrong and avenge the death of their father. Krathing, a vigilante in an officer's uniform, is the rival of Mai, a saint in bandit garb who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. They fight not only for their duty, but also for the heart of Kamlai, the woman they both desire. Only one can be victorious.

After lengthy discussions with Willy Vandersteen, the artist of the comic strip, this series was put into production in 1973. This happened in collaboration with the Flemish actor and producer Wies Andersen. Instead of adaptations of the existing comics, six new stories were chosen. The puppets were given multiple facial expressions and the sets and props were made based on detailed designs by Studio Vandersteen. Lambik always acts as narrator. A striking difference with the comics is that Jerom's doll now has its eyes open.
