What happens

Pippi on the Run (original Swedish title: På rymmen med Pippi Långstrump) is a 1970 Swedish/West German film, sequel of Pippi in the South Seas with the cast of the 1969 TV series Pippi Longstocking. It is the last entry in the original TV and movie series and the only one to not be based on any of the previous books written by Astrid Lindgren. Lindgren eventually wrote a book adaptation of the movie. It was released in the US in 1977. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
