Doch diesmal hinterlässt der Täter Spuren. Zusammen mit Kommissar Flink von der Kripo Bärstadt und mit viel technischer Raffinesse macht sich Peter auf die Räuberjagd.

For example, when Reddy met Cuffy Bear and they went hunting for grubs together, we learn about greed.

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.

Die Wildgänse ziehen auf ihrer abenteuerlichen Reise mit Nils Holgersson weiter nach Norden und erreichen schließlich die moorigen Wälder des Kolmarden. Während sie am Rande eines Waldsees ausruhen, streift Nils durch die Gegend. Er wird von der Natter Hilflos angegriffen und erschlägt sie mit einem Stein. Ohne es zu wissen, hat er damit allen Tieren des Waldes geholfen. Was es mit der Natter auf sich hatte und wie sie den Waldbewohnern geschadet hatte, erfährt Nils, als er zu den Gänsen am See zurückkehrt.
