“Dear listeners! We introduce: the Robinson family. [...] The world is still intact in your neat family home with the pretty, well-tended garden. An intact family, as sociologists say. The Robinsons share joys and sorrows. They meet on time for meals, keep the holidays sacred, and uphold family tradition. They brush shoes and teeth regularly and are nice to each other. [...] For a better understanding of the story, we should probably go a little closer to the family tradition of the Robinsons: Their coat of arms shows two beardless, crossed keys. Her family motto is 'Often hunted - but never caught'. The Robinsons, they are characterized by almost all of the virtues that characterize a good German citizen. You are hardworking, determined, disciplined, humble, and orderly. Just righteous - they are not. They come from a long-established German criminal family. In the ancestral chain of the Robinsons you will find everything from coin dump trucks to pirates, from marketplace clerks to painting forgers, from facade climbers to marriage swindlers, everything that the wide range of the law breaker has to offer. "
“After a totally unsuccessful coup, the Robinsons decide to give up their profession. The economy is no longer what it used to be. The lawbreakers are also facing a recession. The job has lost a lot of its fascination. Grandpa Erwin has the saving idea: 'We'll be honest! We're starting a detective agency! ' Said and done. And they are successful in their new job, because they have no qualms about using the skills they have learned to break the law to combat it. They solve the cases using the same methods that they once committed them. They are just experts. "
