The rascals Eugen, Wrigley, Bäschteli and Eduard (Manuel Häberli, Janic Halioua, Dominic Hänni, Alex Niederhäuser) live in Bern in the 1960s and play one prank after another. After a helmet and a leaking folding boat broke the camel's back, Eugen and Wrigley are threatened with a severe punishment: a ban from their scout camp and boarding school! The two heroes run away and go in search of Fritzli Bühler (Beat Schlatter), the king of the rascals, whose legendary pranks still haunt the streets of Bern. Their adventurous escape leads them to Ticino, where Bäschteli and Eduard join them. After that they ride their bikes over the Gotthard to Zurich. Pursued by worried parents, angry farmers and lots of policemen, their journey takes them all over Switzerland.
