Iqbal and the Superchip
Original title: Iqbal & superchippen
German title: Iqbal und der Superchip
When Iqbal is visiting the zoo with his school class, he is given an electronic chip by the zookeeper to monitor the elephants. Supposedly its goal is to protect the animals from the effects of global warming. At home, Iqbal learns a little later that his apartment block is to be demolished to create space for new luxury quarters. This can only be prevented if the inhabitants raise ten million crowns. In his despair, during a thunderstorm, he invokes God, Buddha, and Allah at the same time, when a lightning strike hits the chip that has fallen out of his pocket. Soon he and his friends find out that the chip is charged with energy and has become a small mega battery. Iqbal’s brother Tariq comes up with the idea of selling the chip and thus raising money for the apartment block. But the alleged coup proves to be a disastrous flop, because the buyers of the chip are no other than the two gangsters responsible for the rummage sale of apartments. They are old acquaintances from former times, scheming and unpleasant crooks.
