Alpo Viika

The farce is set in Turku in the summer of 1940. Olavi Vuori, the son of a landowner, sets out to investigate shortages that have occurred in his father's lumberyard. At the site, he meets two bumbling friends, Sami and Santtu, who have unwittingly become involved in theft. Anni Koivu, an orphaned Karelian girl who looks after the pair's finances, falls in love with Olavi, much to the displeasure of their foreman, Haapala.
