Two kids, one dead body, and every cop in Sweden thinks they did it.
A woman is found murdered in a closed amusement park. A young couple who happen to be there at the same time become, without their knowledge, suspects for the murder. They are chased by a large number of police but only Martin Beck believes them to be innocent.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the long-running Martin Beck series that defined Swedish crime cinema for decades; Gösta Ekman played Beck in 6 films.
The novel's original title, 'Polismördaren,' literally means 'The Police Murderer'—a sly misdirection that the film preserves in spirit if not name.
