About

When a Swedish village collects money to send a mischievous five-year-old to America, his mother is outraged by the collection.

On the Katthult farm in Lönneberga, five-year-old Emil Svensson (Jan Ohlsson) regularly causes mishaps. The adults in the village often take these accidents for deliberate pranks, because the consequences bring trouble for his parents and the other residents. Emil's mother Alma (Emy Storm) is convinced that he never means any harm. When the villagers collect money to send the boy to America so that things will finally quieten down, she is furious. Whenever Emil has done something wrong, he is sent to the woodshed to think, where he carves small wooden figures.

Based on Emil's Pranks
