Story
Summary
The camera zooms into a red book on the table, next to it there are books, pencils, a fountain pen, an eraser, a ruler, paper and under the book; lined paper. All on a wooden table.
The book has a circle, within Alfred is facing back. As the camera has focused on only the front of the book, Alfred turns around, quacks twice and pulls out a material from within the circle and quickly places it in front. The letters "ALFRED J. KWAK" appear on top of the material and heads of the characters Professor Paljass, K. Rokodil, Kapitein Olaf Stoppel, Henk de Mol, Wisal, Dolf, Hannibal Nijlpaard and Winnie Wana surround Alfred Jodocus Kwak on the circle, effectively forming the logo of the series.
The book opens up to a zoom-in of an overhead view of Groot Waterland. Then it fades into a zoom-in of Henk's home and inside, where Alfred and Henk are playing chess.
Alfred appears sleepy and by the end of the scene he seems to have fallen into a dream, right after the scene fades and Alfred is floating alongside the chess pieces; de Witte Koningin and Het SchaaKspel(TODO: separate character names?).
Then, Alfred passes trough the chessboard, almost as-if pulled by a force and is transported into the depths of the sea. He only barely manages to dodge Wiede Wagen's rostrum. Behind the sawfish, Alfred is then face to face with a Whale(TODO: name).
Alfred then fades out and is transported to de Jungle van Sinatra right onto Olifant's back, but not long after until Heksenpriester's hand appears from the upper left side of the frame and grabs Alfred's head right in between the ring finger and the index finger.
Heksenpriester pulls Alfred into a hellish world and uses his other hand to cast a bright beam into Alfred's face, which appears to have transported Alfred into outer space in his space costuum.
In the next few scenes ...
Henk smiles at the camera and jumps onto Alfred's back. Alfred quacks twice again and everything fades out.
