Der Sturm tobt, peitscht das Meer, reißt die Wildgänse mit sich fort, treibt sie hinaus auf die schäumende See. Nie zuvor, seit der Däumling Nils Holgersson mit den Wildgänsen unterwegs war, war sein kleines Herz so voller Furcht gewesen. Aber Akka, die Leitgans, führt ihren Schwarm mit sicherem Flügelschlag in die Höhle der Schafe auf der Karlsinsel, wo Nils den Kampf mit den räuberischen Füchsen besteht. Er erfährt das Geheimnis der versunkenen Stadt und wird in ein gefährliches Abenteuer um den Schatz der Krähen verwickelt.

Der Mälarsee, Stockholm und die Schären vor der Küste liegen unter den Wildgänsen. Zu ihnen hat sich inzwischen auch die junge Gans Daunenfein gesellt, die in Martin, den weißen Gänserich, verliebt ist. Auf einer der Schären wollen die Gänse Daunenfeins Eltern einen Besuch abstatten. Alle hätten glückliche Tage auf der Insel verbringen können, wenn nicht Daunenfeins Schwester Flügelschön finstere Pläne geschmiedet hätte, denen Martin beinahe zum Opfer gefallen wäre. So stiftet sie ihn zu einem Kampf mit dem Adler Gorgo an; mit Mühe gelingt es Nils die beiden auseinanderzubringen.
