Bassie & Adriaan is a Dutch circus and TV duo who take children of all ages on adventures into their world of jokes, excitement, and adventure. Fun jokes, excitement with crooks, and educational adventures and trips through the Netherlands, Europe, and America provide timeless viewing pleasure for young and old alike.

Professor Archibald Chagrijn exposes the world to his blubbering gas, which makes people sad and causes them to cry. Bassie proves immune to the blubbering gas -- as he has had an overdose of laughing gas. The professor is hiding on the Canary Islands, but Bassie and Adriaan manage to track him down.
