The Schmidt family The Schmidt's are a typical regular family in the German town of Stadtkanal. The house has had a perfect paintjob, the wood is gathered for the winter and the tulips are growing nicely. Just a normal house in a quiet town... Mother Schmidt is plucking the apples from her orchard, father Schmidt is cutting the old flower-bed down with a scythe and their daughters Liselotte and Gertie are enjoying the sun in the backyard. Just a normal family in a quiet town... But what is their son Karl-Heinz doing? Karl-Heinz has some peculiar green fingers and managed to grow very very strange plants. He succeeded in growing money! Nu we now where that expensive car is coming from!
