The robber Hotzenplotz is up to his mischief and has stolen grandmother's coffee mill! But he hasn't reckoned with Kasperl, Seppl and a determined old woman. Together they set out to retrieve the coffee grinder and encounter the great and evil magician Petrosilius Zwackelmann, an enchanted frog fairy, an invisible weed and other dangers! Will the grandmother get her beloved cold coffee in the end?
