Pippi in the South Seas

In this second installment of the Pippi Longstocking series based on Astrid Lindgren's books, Pippi (Inger Nilsson) gets word (courtesy of a message washed ashore in a bottle) that South Seas pirates have captured her seafaring father (Beppe Wolgers). With her best friends, Tommy (Pär Sundberg) and Annika (Maria Persson) -- and her pesky pet monkey, Mr. Nilsson -- in tow, Pippi hops a hot-air balloon and sets off on a daring rescue.
