The clever tomcat Mikesch can not only speak, he can also ride a motorcycle. He and Paschek, the piglet who has learned to talk about Mikesch the cat in the meantime, visit a fairground. They drive a merry-go-round, "hit the lucas" and have fun with lots of sweets and various drinks. Tomcat Mikesch seems to have a hangover the next morning, the most terrible accident of his life so far happens to him - he smashes the cream pot. Unhappy about this and afraid of his grandmother, he goes out into the world to earn money so that he can buy his grandmother a new cream pot.
