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.
A flying cocoon lands in the front yard of Aunt Sidonia's house. The pilot of this spaceship is a hairy caterpillar-like creature and comes from the planet Kokonera. A meteorite has crashed on her planet and turns all the flowers into gold. The mini-lots now have no food, because the honey they get from the flowers is not available.
Suske, Wiske, Lambik and Jerom immediately go to Kokonera with the mini-lot to destroy the meteorite, not knowing that Dr. Krimson, the archenemy of our friends, is on board together with his accomplices. Krimson's plan is to steal all the golden flowers.
