Short Content:
Felix's (Oskar Keymer) school is haunted again. This time, however, it's not the benevolent school founder Otto Leonhard (Otto Waalkes) who's up to mischief, but the hated and long-dead principal Hulda Stechbarth (Andrea Sawatzki). A coincidence resurrects the then shrunken and skeletonized school terror.
Meanwhile, Felix is annoyed with his parents (Axel Stein and Julia Hartmann). Because just when things are going really well for him at the Otto-Leonhard-Gymnasium under the direction of principal Dr. Schmitt-Gössenwein (Anja Kling), his parents want to move with him to Dubai because his father wants to take a new job there. Felix is against this and wishes that his parents should also be forced to do what he wants for once.
This wish comes true faster than Felix expected, because after an involuntary encounter with Hulda, his parents are shrunk. In the middle of the night, they are suddenly standing next to his bed, completely exhausted and looking for help, after having fought their way home in an adventurous way.
Suddenly Felix is the one who has to take care of his parents, which is not so easy. Together with his friends, he forges a plan to make his parents great again and save the school from Hulda, who is holding "Schmitti" captive and trying to seize power.
