Aunt Anna and her cat think Friederike a normal girl. But everybody else mocks her because of her red hair. Especially the children. "Here comes flaming red Friederike! There's fire on her head!", they call after her. But since Friederike's hair is not just normal hair, strange things begin to happen ...
