Nilly and Lisa sell the first type of powder to kids at school and become popular. Later Nilly uses the powder to get revenge on the school bullies, Truls and Trym Thrane, by giving them the second type, which causes them to fart up into a tree. Their dad finds out about this and sends Nilly and Doctor Proctor to jail. While they are arrested, Truls, Trym, and their dad break into Doctor Proctor's house and steal the rest of the fart powder, which is kept away in the scientist's cellar. Nilly and Doctor Proctor must escape from jail and meet up with Lisa so they can recover the powder in time for the Norwegian Independence Day celebration. (en)

- The King of Norway sells the rights of Christmas to Mr. Thrane, much to everyone's dismay. This means that only "members" can celebrate Christmas, and anyone else who tries to do so will be arrested. Fortunately Doctor Proctor knows a semi-immortal man with magical abilities named Stanislaw who used to be Santa Claus, who is currently living in secret in Oslo. Nilly, Lisa, and Doctor Proctor must convince him to help them save the holiday. They attempt to deliver presents around the city of Oslo a few nights before Christmas, but are unsuccessful. They even break into Mr. Thrane's house, which gets his attention and causes him to call the police on them. Nilly, Lisa, Doctor Proctor, and Stanislaw run away to Stanislaw's secret base in the subway tunnels beneath Oslo. But soon the trio discovers that there is a legal document in the Oslo Courthouse that says that Stanislaw owns Christmas, and all they have to do is show it to the king of Norway and the rights of Christmas will be restored to Stanislaw before Mr. Thrane rips it up.
