Çok çok eskilerde, küçücük hırsızlardan oluşan bir topluluk vardı. Dünyayı yalnızca altı günde yaratmak zorunda kalan Ulu Varlık'ın evrenin dokusunda aceleden bıraktığı zaman-mekân deliklerinden geçerek dolaşırlardı. Zaman Haydutları bu umarsız, açgözlü ama sevimli gezgin cücelerle, aralarına katılan küçük dostları Kevin'in tarih içindeki koşuşturmalarını, hem soyup hem soyuldukları serüvenleri ünlü sinema yıldızları eşliğinde anlatıyor. Öykü şöyle sürüyor: Zaman hırsızlarının elinde, zamandaki delikleri gösteren bir kroki vardır. Ulu Varlık onlara bu delikleri yamama görevi verir. Ne var ki açgözlülüklerine yenilen cüceler, asıl haritayı çalarak geçmişte kayıplara karışırlar. En büyük hatalarından biri de 1980'lerin İngiltere'sinde Kevin adlı sıradan bir İngiliz öğrencisinin katalogla alışveriş karabasanına girmeleri olur. Kevin, mutfak gereçleri çılgınlığından kaçarak sözcüklerin ve resimlerin içinde geçmişin şaşırtıcı olaylarına sığınır.
