Plot

[edit]

In the third and last part of the film trilogy about Kekec (Zlatko Krasnič), the evil poacher Bedanec (Polde Bibič) appears again. Kekec and his friends chase and hunt Bedanec again and drive him away. Nevertheless Bedanec catches Brincelj (Milorad Radovič) and Rožle (Boris Ivanovski). The brave Kekec saves both of them with the help of his wisdom and tricks Bedanec, who gets caught in one of his own traps he set.

Kekec saves Bedanec out of the trap because he politely asks him, but Bedanec doesn't learn anything out of this. A wise man Vitranc (Jože Zupan) wants to bring peace to these places.
