The Triplets

The Triplets are on their way to Vienna to see a performance of The Magic Flute when the Bored Witch decides to punish them for bad behavior: they suddenly find themselves in Mozart’s 18th Century Vienna. There, the Queen of the Night kidnaps the girls with the idea that by capturing these three good friends of the composer she will make sure that the show will not go on.

In this episode the Bored Witch sends the Triplets to early 20th Century Barcelona. There they meet Antoni Gaudí, an architect who keeps very much to himself, busily designing strange buildings. Needless to say, Gaudí is less than thrilled to be distracted from his work by three little girls running busily around his studio.

Never in his wildest dreams would Gaudí have imagined a set of triplets entering his life. But the Bored Witch decides that will be the case and the three girls take part in one of the most important moments in the architect’s life: the construction of a building known as “La Pedrera”! But, first, the four of them have to deal with a few phantoms of La Pedrera.

The Triplets find themselves at the milkmaid’s farm and meet this young girl who has a plan to earn lots of money selling milk. The girls want to help her out with her plan but the Bored Witch, bent on making sure that the full jugs of milk never reach the market, puts all sorts of obstacles in their path: they run into bandits, a collapsed bridge and a raging river to be crossed. Will the Triplets and the milkmaid manage to survive this adventure?

The Bored Witch sends the Triplets to 18th-century Paris where they meet a girl named Rosaura and her various suitors. Her cousin, Cyrano de Bergerac, is secretly in love with her and writes Rosaura the most beautiful love letters ever written, but signs them in the name of one of her other admirers. Rosaura has no idea of Cyrano’s feelings for her until the Triplets step in to clear up the situation.

Geronimo and the other Indians in his tribe are living a peaceful, happy existence until the white man moves in and builds a shopping center right next to their teepee encampment. The Triplets, sent by the Bored Witch to visit the tribe, try to help the Indians adapt to modern life, but Geronimo finds it impossible and chooses to run away. The girls are determined not to give up their search until they find him.

The Bored Witch sends the Triplets to a city run by machines where it’s against the law to talk, cook, party or listen to music. Once there, the girls meet the little mouse who not only sweeps the little house but is also the lead singer of a clandestine rock group that gets together to talk and make music and they plan a concert to bring life and joy back into the city.

The Triplets find themselves in the Napoleonic era and they meet the Drummer Boy from Bruc and learn about General Bechamel’s plans to take over the boy’s village. The girls trick the Bored Witch into sending them back to the modern world so they can find a set of drums and a rock band to take back to the Napoleonic era and scare off the general’s army! Doing some quick thinking, and with the Drummer boy’s drum and the help of an echo in the hills turning one drumbeat into the sound of thousands, the four children manage to scare off the general’s army!

Insects of all shapes and forms spend their summer holidays on the banks of a puddle among a pile of bricks resembling a crowded built-up Mediterranean beach town. The Bored Witch has sent the Triplets to this little tourist paradise where they work selling ice cream at the Ant’s café. One fine day a bohemian Cicada arrives on the scene and becomes a big hit in the resort town playing his mandolin. When the season changes the Cicada is shocked to see the winter rains for the first time in his life.

The Bored Witch is so angry with the Triplets that, as punishment, she sends them to the Himalayas, to the encampment of a team of mountain climbers who want to reach the top of Mount Everest. The head of the expedition wants to send the girls back home, but they are determined to join the group. Not surprisingly, the Bored Witch doesn’t make it easy for them.

In order to learn about the invention of movies, Teresa drops in on the Lumière brothers’ studio, Anna visits Meliés’ theater and Helena goes to Edison’s laboratory. The three girls are fascinated with what they see. But the Queen of the Night, who is not a big film fan, enlists the help of the Bored Witch to stir up trouble in the story.
