action
The protagonists of the series are Sam and Max , the New York investigator duo.

Each episode tells its own story, but all are linked in terms of content.
Episodes
- The Penal Zone (German title: Der Straf-Raum): The vicious space gorilla Stun-k'afe lands with his spaceship in New York to look for the toys of power. With them, Sam and Max have to stop him and save the city from destruction.
- The Tomb of Sammun-Mak : Sam and Max find four silent film reels in a boiler room that tell the story of their ancestors, Sammeth and Maximus. Through the film roles they can slip into the ancestors and are supposed to steal the devil's toy box from the tomb of Sammun-Mak.
- They Stole Max's Brain (They kidnapped Max's brain!): While Sam and Max were watching the films in the last episode, General Stun-k'afe stole Max's brain. To regain Max's brain, he inserts the pharaoh Sammun-Mak's brain into Max's body. This uses the body to gain world domination and to turn all people into willless slaves. Sam and Max's brains have to stop him and get Max back his body.
- Beyond the Alley of the Dolls : The city is ravaged by an invasion of Sam clones in search of toys of power. It turns out that these clones are controlled by a toy of power, the hand puppet Charlie Ho-Tep, who wants to bring a demon into this dimension. In the final battle, Max succeeds in destroying the devil's toy box and destroying all the toys of power. Unfortunately, this turns him into a monster.
- The City That Dares Not Sleep ( The City That Dares Not Sleep ): Sam and a team of experts get into the body of the giant monster that Max had turned into. There it is necessary to remove the tumor, for which Max's super-ego is responsible, in order to bring Sam's partner back to normal.
