Synopsis:

All the children in town mock the local hunchback, Mook (Johannes Maus), until the day he amazes them with his thrilling life story in this family adventure. As a boy, Mook set out to find the Merchant of Good Fortune. Instead, he discovers magical items that earn him a job in the sultan's court, where he uses his powers to help the prince win the hand of the princess. This was one of East Germany's most beloved and successful children's films.

An old man living in an oriental city tells the story of his life to a group of kids: He too was once a young boy by the name of Little Muck - much like them, but with better manners and a heap of problems. Having lost his father at early age, little Muck is expelled from home by his greedy relatives. He wanders off into the desert hoping to find the merchant who sells good fortune. Amidst the dunes of sand he comes across a small house owned by a wicked woman and her many cats. She wants to make Little Muck her servant, but he manages to escape by stealing a pair of magic shoes which enable him to run faster than any man in the country. From there he heads right into the next set of challenges... Based on a fairy tale by Wilhelm Hauff.

Little Mook searches for the elusive Merchant of Luck. With the help of a pair of magic shoes which enable him to run faster than even the Sultan's fastest runner, and a magic wand that leads to the most splendid of treasures, Little Mook helps his good friend Prince Hassan to win the hand of the lovely Amarza, the Sultan's daughter.
