Nahe dem abgelegenen Örtchen Rafferskaff liegt Burg Grottenow. Dort gehen merkwürdige Dinge vor: Professor Erasmus erfindet Monster! Der kleine Stichkopf ist seine erste Kreatur, wurde aber von neuen Monstern immer mehr zur Seite gedrängt. Seit Jahren fristet er nun in den Schatten der Festung ein vergessenes Dasein und hält dem Professor heimlich den Rücken frei.

Als der kleine Stichkopf das Tagebuch von Kapitän Pulverblitz findet, fällt seinem Freund, dem Ungetüm, etwas höchst Erstaunliches auf: Stichkopf hat allergrößte Ähnlichkeit mit dem berühmt-berüchtigten Piraten!

Wenn das mal gutgeht.
