Emil and the Detectives (1964)

Emil, a spirited young boy, embarks on a bus journey to Berlin with a tidy sum of money intended for his loving grandmother. His excitement is tinged with an air of mystery when a stranger offering sweets lures him into a sleep from which he awakens to find his money missing. This is not just a petty theft, but a scheme crafted by a cunning crook with a penchant for tunnel digging and a troubling connection to a duo of infamous bank robbers. Undeterred, Emil becomes an unwilling detective, his mission - to retrieve his grandmother's stolen money. His pursuit leads him to cross paths with Gustav, a resourceful boy with a knack for rallying troops. Joined by a ragtag team of audacious children, they plunge headlong into an adventure far greater than they ever imagined. Their search also draws in Emil's cousin, adding another layer of intrigue to their escapade. Together, they navigate a maze of trouble, their resolve tested at every twist and turn.
