Hanni and Nanni have gone one step too far this time. It
all began as no more than a bet, but culminated in a wild
chase through a luxury department store. As a final straw,
the two girls were even accused of theft. The twins are
expelled from school and their parents send them off to a
boarding school called “Lindenhof”. A whole new life
begins. While good-natured Nanni soon makes her first
friends, hot-headed Hanni has much more trouble settling
in. The first crucial test comes when the “Lindenhof”
hockey team is due to play against the JoCats, the muchloved
team from their old school – Hanni and Nanni have
to de cide where their loyalties lie. An unexpected dis -
covery helps the two of them to choose. When
“Lindenhof” also faces danger, it finally becomes clear to
Hanni and Nanni that this is where they belong. They
cook up a bold plan to save the school …
