Film plot and background
Animated fun about a squad of bad gangsters who want to stand out by doing good deeds from now on.
Their reputation is already bad, so why not live the high life as gangsters? With mastermind Mr. Wolf (Sebastian Bezzel), safecracker Mr. Snake (Kurt Krömer), master of transformation Mr. Shark (Fynn Kliemann), man for the rough Mr. Piranha (Jannis Niewöhner) and hacker Ms. Tarantula (Joyce Ilg), the “Gangster Gang” has already celebrated some successes.
After a spectacular robbery, however, the gang of criminals ends up behind bars and vows to brag about good deeds from now on. Professor Marmelade (Max Giermann) promises them help. But the change from evil to good is not the only danger. A new villain makes the city unsafe, and no one knows his tricks better than the Gangster Gang.
