Vic the Viking Season 1, Episode 63: Princess Badoura

1

Almost Treasure Island

An old shipwrecked sailor is the accomplice and bait for a group of pirates, who use the tempting prospect of a fabulous treasure to lure sailors in order to seize their riches more easily. Our Vikings fall into the trap, but Vic and Ulme use their talents as puppeteers to scare the brigands of the seas and send them packing.

Thor's Thunder

The drakkar runs aground on a reef in the fog! When they call for help, the Vikings only draw the attention of Sven and his men, who steal their cargo. Vic manages to recover the goods by making it appear like the pirates have been cursed. To do this, he uses bamboo sticks (bartered with a Chinese merchant during their last stop) that are actually filled in with gunpowder (kind of crafted firecrackers). These are loud enough to sound like the god Thor's thunder, and also explode with an unbelievable show of fireworks.

Grist for the Mill

Halvar, his men and the drakkar are kidnapped by Sven! In order to catch up with them, Vic whips up some kite-surfing gear with a board and burlap bags. With Snorre and Tjure, he manages to get his father's drakkar back. Since the sail is ripped, Vic has the idea of making it move by building two large paddle wheels built with the help of Tjure, the crew's carpenter, and Snorre. Astounded by this boat with wheels, Sven's men take their eyes off of their prisoners and don't see Vic climb on board and cut the prisoners' ropes. The prisoners take the opportunity to attack and Vic helps them imprison their kidnappers by trapping them in the middle of the paddle wheels.

The Magic Lantern

In order to scare away tax collectors sent by Eric the Greedy, Vic invents a magic lantern (from flat pieces of translucent stones painted by Ulme and mirrors that focus the sun's light). He uses this to project "monsters" at the entrance to a cave (where the villagers have hidden all their wealth), frightening the tax collectors away.

Shooting Star

Drawn to a shooting star that has fallen on an ice field, Halvar and his men are convinced they have found a fabulous treasure. Sven the Terrible, who is also floating in the neighborhood, has the same thought. But the heavenly debris turns out to be nothing more than ugly, charred stones. Certainly not jewels worthy of taking home to Ylva! Only Vic understands the magnetic value of the meteorite stones: he first uses them as a compass to find their way back to the drakkar, then again as magnets when Sven the Terrible tries to attack and reclaim his "treasure"

The Highest Viking

Gilby challenges Vic: whoever can reach the highest point on the drakkar will accompany the Vikings on this year's expedition. With his scrawny arms, Vic has no chance. Unless he freely interprets the rules. In fact, there are no restrictions about how to climb. Vic will build special shoes with crampons before realizing that, by making the drakkar list, the mast will become a nearly horizontal pole, much easier to climb!

The Wind that'll Tear the Horns Off a Viking

Hungry and immobilized by lack of wind, Halvar's ship has to approach the island of the crazy wind queen, desperate for supplies.

Wickie realizes the unnatural wind blows only in one stream and circumvents it with an improvised kite, to trick the queen.

Knock on Wood

A series of messages sent by a damsel in distress are floating wooden bottles. They are calls for help from a damsel in distress... a damsel who is offering a reward to anyone who will rescue her. Vic identifies the wood from the bottles as Bird Cherry. The crew are reluctant to go, but Halvar, in an incredible show of strength, flattens a table with his bare hands. This settles the crew, and they set out for Bird Cherry Island. On the way, Vic realizes that Halvar's show of strength was the result of a infestation of wood-eating worms! The damsel tied to the only tree on the island looks familiar. It is Pox wearing a wig! Halvar tries to turn the drakkar around, but there is Sven's ship, blocking their path. Halvar challenges him to a trial of strength. Vic rubs his nose. What are they going to do?

Trials of Halvar

On a trip to Britain Halvar and his men are captured by fierce Celtic women warriors who accuse them of plundering their kingdom. For once, Halvar is innocent but the Britons insist that he must prove his innocence by undergoing four trials by ordeal. Only after Halvar has successfully passed through trials involving earth, wind, fire and water can he and the Vikings be freed. Thankfully Vic's experience at making the drakkar sea-worthy has given him lots of ideas on how to outwit the Britons.

The Monster

The Vikings sail home through Scottish Waters after a successful voyage. They happily celebrate until night falls when talk of monsters generates fear amongst the Vikings. As a thunderstorm closes in, the ghostly light causes the Vikings to mistake a shipwreck for the hideous monster and they throw 'the monster' all of their food. As morning approaches, they are now starving and have nothing to eat. They will need to take go ashore if they don't want to starve to death but this means they must sail close to where they last saw Sven who they know will try to take everything that they have collected on their journey. Vic has an idea! They will disguise the Drakkar as a sea monster! Sven and the pirates are petrified and much like our Vikings, throw their food at the 'sea monster' while trying to escape.

The Vikings give their share of the treasure, which overloads Sven's ship and leaves the drakkar lighter. The drakkar crosses the shallow waters, when Sven founders on the reef.
