Kåre and Marimba are two good friends. One day when nothing happens, they decide to offer help to the first person they meet. By accident they meet Torsten, a man who is fidgeting with a lock on a bicycle and is reluctant to get any help from Kåre and Marimba. Despite Torsten’s protests, our two heroes help him break the lock, and within minutes they are playing hide-and-seek with Torsten’s friends dressed as police officers. An exciting adventure for some serves as a personal wake-up call for others…
