Pippi's outspoken personality brings her into inevitable conflict with the local schoolteacher, the police, the arch-criminals Thunder-Karlsson and Bloom--who are after her gold--and the town busy-body Mrs Prysselius who wants to put her in an orphanage. A kidnapping plot designed by Mrs Prysselius is foiled as Pippi escapes the clutches of Thunder-Karlsson and Bloom, riding away on Horse with her neighbors Tommy and Annika.

As the Captain calms the angry Mrs Prysselius, Pippi makes plans to stay with her new friends.

    Pippi Longstocking is coming into your town! And she's makin' some pancakes! And she has a monkey named Mr. Nilsson! PURE GOLD, I would say.
