The series premiered in
1964.
The humourous stories primarily
describe 4 clever teenagers' vacation times
dealing with detective puzzles. All stories are
presented with a slightly parodic twist. The
group consists of these archetypical characters:
Lastic (real name Marco) is the natural leader
because of his athletic and mechanical skills.
Dina is the female with a weakness for fashion
and a fear of almost anything. Doct (real name
Theo) is the bookworm with an overall
intellectual approach. Puffy (real name Jean-Louis)
is the obese boy with a constant craving for food.
The series' title means The 4 Aces
in English.
