Synopsis
Wachtmeister Dimpfelmoser is alarmed when the notorious robber Hotzenplotz escapes from prison yet again. Seppel and Kasperl come up with a plan to catch him: they build a moon rocket out of a cardboard tube and a potato sack and hope to trick the robber into climbing aboard. The story was first written as a puppet-theatre play and was found among the author's papers and published in 2018, after his death.
