scouting

Children’s film in which a number of boy scouts find themselves in the Middle Ages.

A group of boy scouts is camping out in the countryside. At night the scout leader reads to them from an old book given to one of the boys by an antiquarian in Amsterdam. It is about a knight from the Middle Ages and his page who have fallen asleep after drinking a magic potion. One of the boy scouts dreams that he finds the knight and his page and brings them to the camp. The point being made is that boy scouts are modern day knights.

Under the evil influence of the penny dreadfuls they have been reading, two boys, Tom Frank and Frits Heringa, plan a burglary. Thanks to the intervention of the local boy scout group "The Black Arrow", Frits repents and, after a heart-to-heart talk with the scout-master, is allowed to join "The Black Arrow" club. Tom, however, sinks deeper and deeper and ends up in a reformatory.

Jan Kespers wants to become a boy scout, but his parents will not allow him to join the local group known as The Black Arrow. One day, Hi, a charming young East-Indian member of the club, has his outpost in a tree from where he can observe what is going on. He notices a suspicious person who is creeping after two ladies who are walking in the dunes. Hi sees how this man suddenly jumps up, grabs hold of the vanity-bag of one of the ladies and runs away with it.

Lex de Vries, a member of the scout club "The Black Arrow", is often teased by his older sister To. When she starts to insult his club, Lex leaves the house in anger and joins his friends in the club-house. The scouts decide that they will be revenged on To. They know that To is to meet her boyfriend, John Verhoeve, on a certain evening and they plan to make a film of the meeting. Some time later Mrs de Vries invites the members of "The Black Arrow" to show some of their films at a party she intends to give for family and friends. The invitation is gleefully accepted.

They decide to make good use of the afternoon: pulling a purse on a string, spraying someone with a hose, ringing the doorbell at the house of old Dries and escaping by jumping onto the bumper of a taxi. Back at home, Pim gets up to his monkey tricks in the dining-room and is sent to bed because he put a drawing-pin on his sister's chair.
