Inspector Palmu is old, but when there's crime he'll go and investigate. Hilarious and stunning as all Palmu movies are. This time the inspector has to help his young chief Virta to find out the mysterious murdered who is maybe a friend of astronomy... The tracks lead to gloomy house of major Vadenblick (portrayed by incredibly sane looking Mr. Herala).
