The story is about 14-year-old Karl-Bertil who is the son of department store director Tyko Johnsson. His way in life is to become like his father. But Karl-Bertil's hero is Robin Hood. In the film, this will be taken a step further than in the TV version. The poor girl Vera, her sister at the orphanage and the ruthless orphanage leader all cross Karl-Bertil's path. And no one is equal when the story ends. Not even Tyko.
