Summaries

At the beginning of the new school year, Zipi and Zape meet a new student, Oliverio, who is bullied by other classmates. They decide to protect introverted Oliverio, gaining his friendship, then they discover that he is from a rich family. Zipi and Zape help Oliverio enjoy life by going to a party with girls from another school. A group of clumsy gangsters tries to kidnap Oliverio, with the complicity of his butler Bautista. After several failed attempts, they finally kidnap him disguised as Chinese. Zipi and Zape then ask their girl friends, who work at the radio station, for help. The children make a public appeal that thrills the town, urging many to help, from characters that had appeared (such as the teacher and classmates), to others introduced in a surreal way (such as parodies of the Hulk and Charlie's Angels). The gangsters are apprehended in a crowded scene. Bautista, wracked with guilt, rescues Oliverio and convinces him to say that it was all Bautista's joke. Zipi and Zape end with a song.—Skippy Farlstendoiro
