Brødrene Dal is a Norwegian comedy/sketch-comedy series by Norwegian humour trio KLM, that originally aired as four series in 1979, 1982, 1994 and 2005. A fifth adventure, originally performed on stage in 1997, was edited and released as a movie in 2010. The series bears many similarities to Monty Python's Flying Circus, as the three actors play nearly all the different roles in the series, often multiple roles in each episode. Usually, the series would have a main plot keeping the story and episodes together, but most of the content being semi-related or unrelated sketches. This is especially true for the first series Professor Drøvels Hemmelighet, where the story frequently diverges from the main plot for entire episodes, only to jump back to the plot in the last minute. In the other series, the story is more centered around the actual plot.

The Dal brothers set off to search for Professor Drøvel, who disappeared during an expedition twenty years ago. They travel by canoe, Elvegris, and on their journey many strange and inexplicable things happen, which are depicted in sketches. Among other things, the brothers encounter an Indian tribe and a number of pirates, are chased by deadly mosquitoes, and accompany Dracula to the dentist.

When Roms accidentaly triggers its mechanism using the stone, they are off on an exciting time-traveling adventure.

On a dark and stormy night, the Dal Brothers are summoned to the King. He needs their help, for the future of the nation hangs in the balance. In the old 1905 Union Treaty with Sweden, the Swedes slipped in a seemingly insignificant clause: within 100 years, Norway must return King Charles XII’s gaiters, left behind at Fredriksten Fortress when he died there in 1718, or else the dissolution of the Union would be invalid. Now, just before the centenary of that dissolution, it turns out the gaiters were never returned, and, worse still, they’ve vanished without a trace.

Tasked with settling which clan will wield the cursed, all-powerful sword Tyrfing, they must broker peace (or chaos) while Brumund back home monitors the saga via their “Time-Phone.”
