In the peaceful town of Kardemomme only three characters stir up serious trouble - the robbers, Kasper, Jesper and Jonatan. They live outside the town and regularly enter to steal the things they need. The robbers get arrested, they are reformed and eventually they become heroes when they extinguish a fire in the tower of the town. Kasper becomes the town's fireman, Jesper becomes the town's circus manager and Jonatan becomes baker. Filmed theatrical production of Egner's iconic 1954 children's book.
