Kurt Racks his Brain
Norwegian title: Kurt koker hodet
Kurt has driven forklifts at Gunnar’s docks for years and years. But all the boats have stopped coming, ever since a brand new harbour was constructed nearby. Now, Kurt and Bud are hired to polish containers there. One day they hear strange noises. A whole bunch of people suddenly appear from one of the containers, looking like they come from all over the place. And there are serious problems, especially for Kurt and Anne-Lise. Little Bud, however, falls in love!
