Sint Is Zoek!

Sint Is Zoek! (Saint Is Lost!) features Tommie, Ieniemienie and actor Frank Groothof in an exciting story based on Saint Nicholas, a Dutch winter holiday. The album was also released on cassette. The material from this album was not featured on the show.
It's a rainy winter day. Tommie and Ieniemienie are looking after Sien's store when Saint Nicholas comes in to ask for their help. He is all wet, and he would like to leave his clothes in the store to dry while he takes a nap. But then his clothes disappear! With his clothes lost, Saint Nicholas doesn't look like himself anymore. It's almost like the Saint is lost as well! Tommie and Ienie try to find out what happened to the lost costume. They decide to put their shoes by the fireplace and wait for one of Saint's helpers. The plan fails, but pretty soon they find out why Frank is acting so funny—he stole the Saint's costume because he wants to be Saint Nicholas. Luckily, the Saint is not mad at him; instead, he gives Frank a job as a substitute Saint, to help him do his chores.

==Notes==
* Saint Nicholas is kind of like the Dutch Santa Claus: a saint who comes to the Netherlands in November and celebrates his birthday in December, delivering presents to all the good kids. 
* The dialogue and song lyrics were written by Bert Plagman, who performs Tommie. 
* This album was a precursor to the annual Saint Nicholas specials: starting in 1987, the Saint and his helpers visit Sesamstraat in an extra long episode.
