Their adventure begins with a thrilling plane journey, where their traveling container swings wildly, leaving Podge, who is afraid of heights, feeling uneasy. However, things take a turn for the better when they arrive in the Italian city of Siena in their cute little car called an apey.

During their stay, they meet two new friends, Isabella and Marco, who introduce them to Petra, a beautiful racehorse.
