The little asshole's grandfather, the old bag, has fallen into the coffin at a funeral and been buried alive. It's no surprise that instead of going to heaven, the old sack goes straight to hell. The little asshole and his dog Peppi, whom he inherited from Mrs. Mövenpick, try everything in their power to snatch the old bag from the clutches of the devil and do not shy away from dubious cloning techniques and black magic.
