Chief Halvar is the leader of a group of Vikings that travel the world pillaging treasure from other people. On his return home to his village, Flake, he is excited to see his wife and his son Vicky, who he hasn't seen since he was a baby. He expected his son to be as strong as himself and take the world head on, but is dismayed when he finds out that his son is being chased around the forest by a wolf. He believes that Vicky should be chasing the wolf. Vicky eventually escapes the wolf by using his brains, rather than his brawn. When Vicky gets to see his father he sees that he is disappointed with him. But his mother says that Vicky is very intelligent and would use his brain power to solve situations. Halvar puts this theory to the test by challenging Vicky to a contest to see who would move a pile of large boulders from one place to another in the quickest time. If Vicky wins then he can join the crew of the Viking ship and travel the world. Halvar thinks that Vicky has no chance of winning the contest, but Vicky's mother isn't so sure. The whole village turn out to see the contest and Halvar streaks into the lead. While Vicky lies in the meadow and thinks. The villagers are confused by his actions, but Halvar doesn't notice, he's more interested in winning and is half-way through his boulders. Vicky suddenly springs into action and runs off to his house. When he returns he is dragging the front door of his house and ties it to 2 nearby trees. He's made a catapult! In no time at all, Vicky has shot all the boulders across the meadow and wins the challenge. Poor Halvar has lost and he's exhausted, but is gracious in defeat and impressed with Vicky. But Halvar has a new problem, Vicky is so young to join the Viking Crew that the other crew members won't accept him on board. Vicky comes up with an idea to get around this issue. So when the crew wave goodbye to the village to go on their travels again, Vicky hides away in a barrel that is supposed to carry some of their water on the trip. Vicky is later discovered by one of the crew, as his snoring gives him away. But his plan worked and the ship is too far away from their village to turn back. Halvar doesn't let on that he knew about this deception all along and puts Vicky to work in the kitchen. So begins Vicky's adventures.
