    JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. No one knows better than the American masters of epic Western fiction that forging a new life on the frontier takes hope, drive, and plenty of ammunition. The war is over. But a new battle is on the horizon. Based on true events. It's 1852. The wounds of the Mexican War are healing. Regis Royle, co-owner of a steamship fleet, has made it out alive, relatively unscarred and with enough profit and foolhardy ambition to envision a new life in south Texas. With the help of his crack-shot kid brother Shepley, his glad-handing riverboat partner Cormac Delany, and his old friend, raw-edged former Texas Ranger Jarvis "Bone" McGraw, Regis is laying claim to the prime jewel in a magnificent rolling prairie: the Santa Calina range teeming with wild mustangs, cattle, and eighteen-thousand acres of lush promise. But all dreams have a price. For Regis, it's hell to pay-and the fire is coming at him from all directions. On one side of the border, it's banditos and a vengeful Mexican heiress with a passionate hatred for greenhorn gringos. Especially those who have their eye on land once owned by her family. On the other side, the Apaches, slave traders, and outlaws have Santa Calina in their sights. And none of them are going to walk away from the bloody battle. The brothers Royle and their partners have the most to lose-including their lives. They made a pledge to themselves to build the greatest ranch in America. To see it through to the end, they'll have to ride hard and learn the bitter necessity of violence and bloodshed.

    Die Tigerentenbande ist zurück: Hannes Strohkopp, die Erfinderin Laika, die Mäuse Tütü und Schischi, der Hund Bergmann, der Fahrradtaxifahrer Schnuddel und nicht zu vergessen die Tigerente persönlich erleben ein im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes haarsträubendes Abenteuer: Hannes wird von den Gringos dazu genötigt, ein Barthaar von Mäuse-Sheriff Browning zu stehlen. Das Unterfangen gestaltet sich als schwierig, zumal Hannes schlichtweg zu gutmütig für einen Diebstahl ist. Dabei ist Browning selbst kein Kind von Unschuld.

    Im Zeichenunterricht sitzt Hannes mal wieder wie gelähmt vor einem weißen Blatt Papier und hat keine Idee, was er malen soll. Er wagt keinen Strich.

Laika testet gerade mit den Assistenten Tütü und Schischi ihre neueste Supergenial-Erfindung: ein Schrumpfstrahler, der alles winzig klein schrumpfen kann. Alles? überlegt Hannes, vielleicht auch meine Angst vor allem und jedem? Das wäre super! Er will den Strahler unbedingt ausprobieren ... Rechte: MFA+ FilmDistribution e.K.
