content
Class 11a is the biggest problem in the life of Principal Taft. With her pranks, she brings the entire teaching staff, especially senior teacher Dr. Knörz, to despair. Therefore, he has set himself the goal of putting this rebellious class in their place. In order to get information about future pranks and their authors, Taft smuggles his nephew Ewald into the class.
Nevertheless, Pepe Nietnagel and his classmates manage to cause unrest. First of all, the completely unsportsmanlike teachers are made ridiculous with the help of a fictitious governmental order for physical training. At the celebration of the centenary of the school, it was possible to provoke a fire brigade with the help of laughing gas and smoke powder. Because of the water damage, the school will be closed for a week. Meanwhile, Senior Studies Director Taft requests a particularly strict teacher to discipline 11a in a letter to the Ministerial Director . However, this does not arrive at the ministry, as Pepe stole it from the somewhat simple-minded janitor Bloch and called for a sensitive, sensitive teacher over the phone in the voice of Rector Taft. Since the arriving Dr. Glücklich and Rector Taft talk past each other, the manipulation is initially not noticed. The crying class and a dismantled teacher's desk also contribute to this, which Rector Taft interprets as an outburst of anger.
A find from Roman times, disguised as an excavation by Pepe, prompts the director to search for more treasures and in the meantime to send the class on a study trip to Bad Homburg vor der Höhe . Here the teachers are a little more relaxed and Dr. Knörz, completely drunk from a drinking competition, tells of a lover he had as a soldier in Avignon during World War II. Dr. Happy, on the other hand, proves to be a savior when he uses his karate skills to defeat four bad guys who are harassing a schoolgirl and knocking down classmates who come to help. This impresses Pepe so much that he confesses to him the reason for his transfer to Mommsen-Gymnasium. Unfortunately, Ewald overheard and reports to Dr. Knörz of it. Since Pepe notices him, he can take countermeasures. He puts the unexpectedly arrived French exchange student Genevieve Ponelle on Knörz, who pretends to be the fruit of his adventure in Avignon and forces him to report sick. During a visit to the sick, Pepe and his comrades meet Genevieve and in return for their silence demand silence about Dr. Happy. Nevertheless, the hoax comes out during a visit from the Ministerial Director. Happy is dismissed, but the students go to the ministerial director and get him to stay. Above all, Pepe's speech for Dr. Fortunately, the director and ministerial director are so impressed that Rector Taft forgives him for his prank with the old Roman vase and gives him the good piece back.
History of origin
prehistory
After Franz Seitz brought the film hit Zur Hölle mit dem Kettler to the cinemas in the spring of 1968, three official and unofficial sequels or imitations of the film series were created within one year at the competition. At least the continuations of the real “Lümmel” series were to be produced exclusively under the overall direction of Franz Seitz. While the second part produced by Horst Wendlandt , Zum Teufel mit der Penne , was tailored to the main actor Peter Alexander , the focus of the third part was again more on the main character Pepe Nietnagel.
The original planning of the Constantin Film Distribution provided that the contract director Harald Reinl should direct a film from the Kommissar X series after the completion of the Jerry Cotton film Killshots on Broadway . Due to the postponement of the film Inspector X - Three Golden Snakes , Reinl was initially free for a number of other projects, including the comedy Pepe, the Paukerschreck .
Hansi Kraus , Theo Lingen , Uschi Glas , Rudolf Schündler , Hannelore Elsner , Ruth Stephan and Hans Terofal could be engaged as permanent leading actors in the series . This time Gustav Knuth , Hans Clarin , Harald Juhnke , Walter Rilla , Gerhart Lippert and, for the first time, Carola Höhn as mother Nietnagel appeared in guest roles . The then 15-year-old Jutta Speidel had her first film appearance in the film. Director Harald Reinl appeared in a brief cameo during the bus ride.
production

As the Mommsen-Gymnasium, the Munich Maximiliansgymnasium could be seen for the first time, as in the other parts . The film architect was Arne Flekstad . The many outdoor shots and tracking shots are due to Harald Reinl's personal style.

Reviews
“In the third part, too, the louts from the first bench keep inventing new pranks to get their drummers 'crazy'. With smoke bombs, bogus letters and female tricks, the 'screen heroes' ride sharp attacks on the audience's diaphragm. The high-spirited schoolboys are allowed to do everything that the cinema audience never managed to do in their school days. Great fun with popular actors for people who like this kind of gossip. "
“This new infusion of a surprisingly box office series disappoints across the board: it unfortunately does not tie in with the somewhat acceptable second part […], but also falls below the more than mediocre first […]. Not the slightest recommendation for this downright moronic, not at all funny, sometimes more than embarrassing, often even frivolous color film from the school environment [...]. "
"Clothes [...] student pranks from the day before yesterday. (Rating: moderate) "
"Careful, German 'humor'!"
