Küßchen und der General

DDR 1961 Spielfilm


A school boy called Punkt ("Dot") is the appointed leads the pioneer group of class 7b. But instead, his rude schoolmate General is in command. And General uses his power mainly to instigate the other children to mischief and pranks. The situation changes when new pioneer Küßchen joins the group. He is diligent, likes to do handicrafts and even has his own field telephone. To get across to the new boy that he is in command of the group, General and his gang set up a pitfall, but unfortunately for them it is not Küßchen who steps into the trap, but a lieutenant of the National People′s Army. When likable Küßchen visits the injured soldier in the hospital, they become friends. The lieutenant even helps the children to set up an amateur radio station. That brings jealous General back to the scene. With a sly prank, he wants to score off Küßchen. But when his prank calls up the police, he proves that he can also be a loyal comrade.
