Welcome to Cardamom! It's a peaceful town full of happy residents. Until… someone robs the bakery and the sausage shop. The locals attempt to catch the thieves red-handed and teach them a lesson. Will the robbers manage to get away with it?

The sun always shines in Cardamom, and the locals live in prosperity and harmony. One day, their peace is disturbed by three robbers who steal food from shops. The robbers are called Casper, Jasper and Jonathan, and they live outside the town with their… lion! Despite their misdeeds, they are good-natured and do not want to hurt anyone. When their next plan backfires, thanks to the support and kindness of the townsfolk, they'll get a chance to make amends. They will discover the power of community and understand that everyone deserves a second chance. Three Robbers and a Lion is not only a charming animation, but also a thrilling musical filled with memorable songs.
