Im Zug nach Berlin teilt Emil Tischbein das Abteil mit dem gemeinen Gauner Grundeis, der den Jungen aushorcht und ihm das Geld stiehlt, das dieser seiner Grossmutter mitbringen sollte. In Berlin angekommen, will Emil die Verfolgung des Diebes aufnehmen, da er sich ohne das Geld nicht unter die Augen seiner Grossmutter traut. Mit der tatkräftigen Hilfe einiger Berliner Jungen und seiner Cousine Ponyhütchen beginnt die Jagd nach dem Verbrecher. 

On the train to Berlin, Emil Tischbein shares a compartment with the common criminal Grundeis, who sounds out the boy and eventually steals the money he's supposed to bring to his grandmother.  Once the train arrives in Berlin, Emil wants to take up the pursuit of the thief, because he can't bear to face his grandmother without the money.  With the active help of a few Berlin kids and his cousin Ponyhutchen, the hunt for the criminal begins.
