[[Henk de Mol]] emerges from his molehill in the pastures of [[Groot Waterland]]. Checking the time, he remarks that [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]] is late for their meeting again. Meanwhile, Johan rushes to meet Henk. He crosses the road without looking left or right and nearly gets run over by a truck. He finds Henk, apologizes about his tardiness. Henk asks Johan if it isn;t his time to to get married. Johan thinks he's still too young, but just as he says that he hears singing from in the distance and Johan starts swooning. They find [[Anna van de Polder]] and Henk introduces her to Johan. Johan, overwhelmed with nerves, struggles to speak coherently. Immediately smitten with her, Johan walks into the pastures, and starts dreaming about her. Unbeknownst to him, two heron surveyors, [[Stip]] and [[Stap]], begin measuring the pasture around him. | |||
The next morning, Johan wakes up hears Anna's voice in the distance. He heads toward her but quickly returns to the river to clean himself and brush his teeth. Johan approaches Anna, offering her a flower out of nowhere. In return, Anna kisses him. He now knows for sure, Anna also likes him. | |||

[[Schor de Kraai]] and [[Miriam Merel]] judge Anna's and Johan's freshly laid eggs, loudly proclaiming they will likely spoil before hatching. Angered, Johan takes back the egg Schor is holding. At that moment, Rap, disguised as a bush, sneaks in and steals an egg. Johan chases after Rap, who trips, causing the egg to soar into the air. The egg lands in the water, where [[Snel de Snoek]] swallows it whole. Johan pulls him out of the water and forces him to spit the egg out. | |||
As Henk scolds Rap, Johan returns to receive a scolding from Anna. Johan confidently reassures her that the egg is safe, but when he shows her, only pieces of the shell remain.

Henk de Mol emerges from his molehill in the pastures of Groot Waterland. Checking the time, he remarks that Johan Sebastiaan Kwak is late for their meeting again. Meanwhile, Johan rushes to meet Henk. He crosses the road without looking left or right and nearly gets run over by a truck. He finds Henk, apologizes about his tardiness. Henk asks Johan if it isn;t his time to to get married. Johan thinks he's still too young, but just as he says that he hears singing from in the distance and Johan starts swooning. They find Anna van de Polder and Henk introduces her to Johan. Johan, overwhelmed with nerves, struggles to speak coherently. Immediately smitten with her, Johan walks into the pastures, and starts dreaming about her. Unbeknownst to him, two heron surveyors, Stip and Stap, begin measuring the pasture around him.
The next morning, Johan wakes up hears Anna's voice in the distance. He heads toward her but quickly returns to the river to clean himself and brush his teeth. Johan approaches Anna, offering her a flower out of nowhere. In return, Anna kisses him. He now knows for sure, Anna also likes him.
A few weeks later Henk comes over on a maternity visit to see Johan and Anna’s clog filled with seven eggs. Meanwhile, Rap de Kiekedief spies on them through binoculars.
In the office of the Beton Maatschappij, Olaf Nijlpaard, manager of Groot Speelgoedland shows K. Rokodil a miniature model created by Stip and Stap, who are present alongside Bart 'Beton' Bever, the construction supervisor and director of the Beton Maatschappij. K. Rokodil id interested in Nijlpaard's themepark plans as an investor. Nijlpaard plans to build the theme park right on top of the pasture where Johan and Anna live.
Schor de Kraai and Miriam Merel judge Anna's and Johan's freshly laid eggs, loudly proclaiming they will likely spoil before hatching. Angered, Johan takes back the egg Schor is holding. At that moment, Rap, disguised as a bush, sneaks in and steals an egg. Johan chases after Rap, who trips, causing the egg to soar into the air. The egg lands in the water, where Snel de Snoek swallows it whole. Johan pulls him out of the water and forces him to spit the egg out.
As Henk scolds Rap, Johan returns to receive a scolding from Anna. Johan confidently reassures her that the egg is safe, but when he shows her, only pieces of the shell remain. Henk then soon spots a duckling nearby and Johan and Anna run to help the duckling back home. Henk suggests naming him after his grandfather, Alfred de Mol, who also ran away when he was young. Anna adds Jodocus to his name. Just as they make the decision, Alfred’s other brothers and sisters hatch.
Suddenly, the clog and the ground around them begin to rise, lifted by a giant excavator. The neighborhood is filled with construction machinery tearing up the land. Johan tries to protest with Olaf Nijlpaard, K. Rokodil and Bart 'Beton' Bever, but they say that they have bought this land. Nijlpaard tells Johan and Henk that they have a permit.
Henk shows Johan a photograph of Alfred de Mol, his grandfather, standing in front of a mine house, suggesting moving there. Johan feels an attachment to this place, so wants to sleep on it a couple of nights. Seven days later Alfred escapes the clog at night and walks into the theme park. He walks into a haunted house. He is frightened by a ghost animatronic and let's out his first quack. He runs back to the clog and goes back to sleep.
