In the residential area stands the apartment building Kikkebakke, home to a motley crew of residents. Among them are the grumpy Gniske and Mrs. Vivaldi with her spaghetti machine. At Father Alfred's house, the kitchen is a hive of activity when it's time to do the dishes—so why not invent a clever machine that can do it? Kikkebakke Boligby is also home to Freddy, Carla, Skorstens-Per, Mrs. Brand, Mr. Matrikelhys, and businessman Sommer, who behind closed blinds becomes the muscle man Mr. Pølzenmuskel!
