Hands Off Mississippi

Finally summer vacation! Ten-year-old Emma can hardly wait to be back at Grandma Dolly's in the countryside. Upon her arrival in the small town, she is pleased to find that everything is as usual. But that's not entirely true: the old Klipperbusch has died, and his nephew Albert Gansmann, known as "Alligator" by Emma's friends, is planning the future inheritance in his own way. He has big plans for the estate, but there's no room left for Klipperbusch's mare, Mississippi. So he quickly orders the horse slaughterer. Emma manages to persuade Dolly at the last minute to buy the horse from Gansmann. From now on, Mississippi belongs to Emma. However, shortly after, Gansmann shows up at the door and wants the mare back. It won't be spontaneous love for animals that drives him. So what is behind Gansmann's desire? Emma, Dolly, and their friends need to find out.
