A incrível criação de alguns dos brinquedos mais icónicos de sempre aconteceu por acaso. No decorrer da II Guerra Mundial, um engenheiro naval inventou acidentalmente uma espiral que desce escadas, ao tentar arranjar uma forma de proteger o equipamento de navegação de danos. Em simultâneo, um engenheiro tentava inventar uma borracha sintética para o esforço de guerra, acabando por produzir uma estranha massa que se tornaria mais um brinquedo mundialmente famoso. Mostramos as histórias da origem destes e de outros brinquedos, e dos génios que lhes deram vida.
