The Pincher family are notorious thieves. However, their son Turer is honest and incapable of stealing or lying. He’d rather become a policeman and finds a kindred spirit in Constable Paul. He urges his well-practiced family to stop stealing and choose the right path. It seems to happen on the surface, as his parents and sister start buying things instead of stealing them. However, the situation changes when it's discovered that their family dog - Turer's best friend - is also stolen. Turer must make a choice. Should he be honest and return the dog, or keep it and get involved with his family in another elaborate theft scheme? His bored family is planning a big heist - to steal a diamond-encrusted diadem from the local museum. And they need a talented dog for it. This comedic and thrilling adventure, based on the children's book by Swedish author Anders Sparing, will entertain both young and old viewers.
