Smashing everything around, she turned bright, juicy, colorful landscapes into a dug-out land and filled it with mud. They mocked the people with their vile disgusting antics. But one day, a young man named Tomba peacefully slept under a tree, and when he woke up, he discovered that devilish pigs had stolen the gift of his grandfather. In fact, not knowing who did it, Tomba firmly decides to return the grandfather's gold bracelet and in the course of his quest he chops all these nasty pigs under a nut, restoring peace, beauty and saving people from the pig future.
Years passed and Tomba grew up, became a young, handsome man. Life is flowing around peacefully and quietly, and he and his friend Charles have fun without knowing it.
