Plot

The film takes place on the east side of Oslo in the early 1930s, and follows a gang of young boys who spend their spare time stealing coconuts from passing trucks. They devise a plan where two of the boys will hop up on the truck and cut open the bags of coconuts with their knives, and then toss them down to the rest of the gang who are following along behind the truck. Afterwards, they split up the looted coconuts. Eventually, the gang gets caught by the police and are hauled into the police station, but they are released with only a warning.
