Jimmy Flitz - a Swiss story

Chapter 7: By boat to the Black Madonna

On the run from the police, Fernanda the flower fly and her animal companions board the Lake Zurich steamboat, where they unexpectedly perform a rock concert on stage.

b) A raven shows the way to the Black Madonna

Chapter 8: The Treasure of Sacred Lake (Glarus)

On the shores of Sacred Lake the three friends meet a new companion: a bearded vulture named Culan. Jimmy Flitz goes for a swim in the lake and regains his vision and sense of smell, which he had given away to his friends. To their great surprise and delight, while diving in the water they find the legendary gold treasure of a famous Russian general from the time of the Napoleonic Wars. This discovery causes the four friends to suffer from gold fever. Fortunately, the vulture knows how to rap. He sorts out their argument with a song about how to share five cents among four friends. Even so, they decide to go their separate ways for a while. Jimmy Flitz the mouse wants to return to city life, while Wulwul the bear wants to visit his old cave in Appenzell.
