Der Räuber Hotzenplotz

The villain of the film is Hotzenplotz. He is a robber. He shows nobody any mercy. One day he carries out a theft. What he takes is a coffee grinder. The grinder belongs to Grandmother. On top of it the thing plays music while it works. Kasperl and Seppel will not have it. The two of them set off after the robber. But Hotzenplotz overpowers them both. The boys are shut up in the robber’s den. There is another danger there. One of them is to be sold. The buyer is a magician called Petrosilius Zwackelmann. The account is built on their effort to get out. The film is put together as a comedy for children. Gert Fröbe and Lina Carstens take the leads in Gustav Ehmck’s German film of 1974.
