Krendel Peterson, a bandit from the provincial Swedish town of Somewhere, is having a birthday. And what do you think he received as a gift? A locomotive with two cars! Not toy ones, but real ones. The townsfolk are perplexed: what to do with such a gift?... And then Freken Stall, who loves fun adventures and mischievous schemes, came to everyone's aid. She suggested organizing a race between the locomotive and… a bus. Well then, on your marks! The big race begins!
