С братьями-близнецами Тильдом и Мукром – мальчиками с крылышками, умеющими летать, и их друзьями – лесными животными, насекомыми и летучими мышами, происходят невероятные приключения. В Лесном Урочище, куда ураган принес Тильда по велению ведьмы Хаги, друзья победили кровожадную росомаху Маху, зубастую щуку Варвару, разбойников шмелей-кукушек, хищного хорька и ядовитую гадюку. А вернувшись с ураганом на гору Катарангу, Тильд воссоединился с Мукром, и они избавились от злой ведьмы Хаги, страшного паука Восьминога и расколдовали маленьких эльфов из летучих вампиров, вернув эльфам их облик.
