"Jim Knopf ("Knopf" = "Button") and the wild [number] 13," the latter being a locomotive, continues to be my favourite piece of TV entertainment.
This is what the speaker in the clip is telling us:
The small island of Lummerland was situated right in the middle of the infinite expanse of the ocean. On the island's rail tracks the two locomotives Emma and Molly would move about. The engine-drivers ("engineers" in American English?) were Lukas and Jim. King Alfons, the quarter-to-twelfth, was in urgent need of a lighthouse. For that reason he sent Lukas and Jim to bring Herr Turtur, the Seeming-Giant (the closer you get to him the smaller he becomes), to Lummerland. However, on their way to Herr Turtur, they encountered the Sea-Fräulein Sursula Pitschi, who asked them to fix the magnet in the magnet mountain, which had lit up the sea for thousands of years.
