Synopsis:
During the making of his very first film for the cinema, Tobias Krell – better known as “Checker Tobi” – plays a captain on an ancient pirate ship. When the shooting is over and Tobi has returned to the present, he finds a real message in a bottle. It's a puzzle relating to the mystery of our planet. In order to solve it, he must look into Earth's core and wake the bear with eight legs. He needs to read the world's memories and gather up India's most valuable treasure. Immediately, Tobi's checker-ambitions are triggered and he begins an exciting journey around the world, which takes him to one of the 83 islands of Vanuatu first. There, Tobi climbs into the crater of a fire-breathing volcano. He continues to Tasmania, where he does some diving, then on to the ice-cold Arctic, and finally to India.
