When you are a little orphanage boy who nobody wants – then you might as well be dead, is what Rasmus thinks. But then he gets an idea. He could run away from the orphanage, go out into the world and find someone who wants him. But it didn’t quite turn out the way he’d imagined. Anyway, he meets Oscar, the tramp and Rasmus becomes a vagabond too.

All the adventure that little Västanvik has can be found in the town’s ancient marketplace, Lusknäckarmalmen. It’s here that Rasmus and Pontus come one Wednesday evening to watch the world-famous sword-swallower Alfredo in action. By accident, they get to hear of plans to stage a silver robbery in the little town where they live. And when Toker, who was made to stay home got tired of that and comes scampering on his short little legs right into the middle of the action – that’s when the adventure really begins.
