Largely fictionalized, partly fictitious chapters from the life of the Belgian royal family during and around the reign of king Albert II. Besides his duties, including signing a more federal regime for the Belgian state, focus is on his marital troubles, illegal offspring and unruly sons. Albert's elder brother and predecessor Boudewijn I and his widow Fabiola also play a largely fictionalized part.

On a dark night, De Scheve Schuit sails into a strange ship. When Piet and his friends take a look on board of this spooky ship, the crew appears to be cursed. They have all been transformed into stone statues! Piet wants to break the curse because he feels very attracted to the captain of the ship, Captain Marylin. It soon turns out that the solution is the ship itself; it's a flying ship! To make the ship fly, a blue pearl is needed. This can only be found on Oyster Island, an island inhabited by mysterious caves and carnivorous plants...
