Soccer fever has broken out among the children of Hangelin, causing them to neglect their homework and chores. While their parents hope the excitement will soon die down, the children clear out an old scrap yard to make themselves a soccer field.

Alarm! Alarm! The bell rings all the time: A storm knocked down the tower of the city hall, a fire is burning in the forest, and a parrot escaped from the circus. The firemen are so busy that they cannot find the time for a little coffee break.
