The story is set in the fictional village of Hölmölä and revolves around its quirky inhabitants as they navigate humorous situations and misunderstandings. The play features an ensemble cast, including characters like Jaska and Epra, who are involved in a dispute over land and are visited by a mysterious figure known as Maailman-Matti, introducing elements of absurdity and folly that characterize the community.  The opening of the play introduces the main characters in a lively setting within Hölmölä. Jaska and Epra, two village tenants, humorously bicker about responsibilities and dream of riches, believing in the existence of hidden treasures in their land. Their conversation is punctuated by the arrival of Tikka, the herrastuomari (village judge), and Mesakki, the village bell-ringer, who add to the comedic scenario by discussing dreams, superstitions, and the arrival of a land measurer. The humor is underscored by misunderstandings and the playful absurdity of their dialogues, setting the stage for a whimsical exploration of themes like ambition, greed, and community dynamics in the following acts.
