Auf dem Fahrrad gegen die Nazis Die Deutschen belächeln Dänemark als ihre »Schlagsahnefront«, weil das Land sich 1940 kampflos ergibt und kaum widersetzt. Doch damit will sich der 14-jährige Knud nicht abfinden. Er gründet den Churchill Club, eine Gruppe Jungs, die sich auf ihren Fahrrädern aufmacht, um die Nazis zu sabotieren: Sie verdrehen Schilder, zerschneiden Stromleitungen und schmieren Parolen an Häuserwände. Was mit einfachen Streichen beginnt, entwickelt sich zu einem gefährlichen Abenteuer. Die Jungs gehen immer strategischer vor, stehlen Waffen und zerstören deutsche Fahrzeuge. Für ihre Prinzipien setzen sie ihr Leben aufs Spiel und ahnen nicht, dass ihre Taten später den Widerstand im ganzen Land entfachen werden.
