About Augsburger Puppenkiste - Am Samstag kam das Sams zurück
Mr. Taschenbier hopes that Sams, that little cheeky, gluttonous, yet lovable green creature with the red hair and blue dots on his face, will come back soon and stay with him forever, once the wishing machine has been set in motion. But, on Sunday the sun must shine, on Monday Mr. Mohn must come to visit, on Tuesday Taschenbier must go on duty, Wednesday is just there, there must be the middle of the week, but Thursday is difficult, because there must be thunder, and Friday must be a day off. But one day it works out, the Sams is back and the wishing machine works. But now one disaster after another happens.
