What it’s about. He went out to empty the trash, but he should never have done that! Just listen to what happened to our hero Reinert Andersen in the early morning. In his bathrobe he goes quiet out to throw his garbage bag. But the bin is overfilled, and the neighbor shows up when he tries to sneak it into his. A tricky situation. He takes the speed to heave it over the hedge ... At the same time in a neighborhood bank, Henry and his gang make a successful coup, starting with the escape police pursuit. The only thing that gets in their way, are Reinerts garbage bag. It lands right in the front window, and the remains of it in the face of the policeman who is about to catch the robbers on a motorcycle. Double-flap!
