Mr. Pekanpää is a wealthy man. Everything looks fine, he has even a new young wife nowadays. But he misses his ex.

The Finnish sweethearts (Tauno & Ansa) were a bit old when they made this film. Still the audience loved them as they loved the story that was so fresh and cool in 1955. It doesn't look like that anymore.
