Goblin bor i en mysig grotta med råttor, fladdermöss och sin enda vän, Skelettet. Varje dag leker Goblin och Skelettet med grottans skatter. Men en dag stormar en grupp äventyrare in. Plundrarna vänder upp och ner på stället, stjäl alla skatter och försvinner med Skelettet!

Nu är det upp till Goblin att ställa allt till rätta. Men först måste han lämna grottan på egen hand och upptäcka hur resten av världen känner inför en goblin.
