After his father dies, he lives with his stepmother and stepbrother, who don't really like Timm. Nevertheless, he often laughs and infects others with his laughter. He is often drawn to the
to the racetrack, where he spends a lot of time with his father. One day he meets a mysterious stranger there: Baron Lefuet. The baron wants to buy Timm's laugh
and promises the boy that he will win every bet in return. Timm
