He is just thirteen years old. In the morning, he goes to school. In the evenings, he sneaks out to go to the movies. His companion is the unbeatable detective Magic O'Brian with his dangerous adventures from gloomy London to rainy Amsterdam. Along with him is his small-statured classmate with the irresistible speech – he emphasizes all the words on the last syllable.

When things at his home reach a breaking point, the angry teenager will come up with a solution that will mobilize everyone: In the enchanting finale, he, his parents, Magic, a pair of lords, a blonde mistress, a theater-loving lover, a gang of scoundrels, a group of police officers, a loudspeaker, and a platoon of snipers take center stage.

It goes without saying that in the end, journalists will arrive, just like the cavalry in the westerns.
