[8] After a humiliating incident involving his girlfriend Laura, Mother Roef takes her son Abeltje away from school and gets him a job as a lift boy at department store KNOTS.

His traveling companions - Laura, mothball salesman Jozias Tump, and singing teacher Miss Klaterhoen - are also embroiled in his adventure.

Mr Tump helps Abeltje to escape and immediately after they reach the lift they set off at top speed for Perugona in South America, the spot where Johnny disappeared.

But then in front of the eyes of Mother Roef, Mrs. Cockle Smith and the guerrillas the lift disappears into the volcano Quoquapepapetl.

Dana Linssen of NRC Handelsblad wrote a positive review and states that the film "offers great entertainment for Schmidt purists" and that "every joke and every storyline is catchy on several levels, including the art direction full of searching pictures and unexpected discoveries."
