Kurt turns Evil
Norwegian title: Kurt blir grusom
The fork truck driver Kurt has been a truck driver for many years. Almost since he was a little boy. One day Kurt saves a man who is sleep-walking from drowning. As a reward he gets a diamond the size of a football. But what do you need a diamond for? Kurt sells it and gets fifty million kroners. With all this money in the garage it is understandable that Kurt turns evil. It can happen to the best of them.
