When a stranger arrives from Worango and tells the children that Tobias is desperate for their help, they are suspicious. But Hendrik, on hearing his father is there, searching for him, agrees to return with the stranger and the others can't let him go alone. But nothing is as it seems on Worango. Who can they trust?

And where is the cloak which will take them safely home?
