action

Sven is a manufacturer of sex novels. But while he churns out love life, his own falls short; he neglects his wife Brit. Pressed by the readership and the press, Sven decides to go about his work in the country with the necessary calm and sleeps in a village with his wife and super bed (not used for practical experience, but for pure relaxation). The rural population would initially like to see him leave immediately, full of disgust and concern, but then, after he has become a tourist attraction, are even ready to hold him with a “sex orgy ”.

Meanwhile, Brit has gotten involved with the sturdy woodcutter Ola, who is loved by the dairymaid Solveig, who in turn stabs Sven in the eye. So there is great confusion among everyone. Outraged, Brit travels to town with Ola when her husband's connection with the dairymaid no longer seems as harmless as it really is. Sven follows with a former seaman, as does Solveig with a shotgun. They are joined by a female soldier from the Salvation Army who wants to help them find each other. In the end, the right couples are dutifully united, and the Salvation Army woman turns out to be the sailor's former friend, who does not go away empty-handed.

criticism

The Protestant film observer sums up his opinion as follows: “The demonstration of undressed forms only inadequately conceals the boring lack of imagination and the flat humor.” The lexicon of international films succinctly notes that the film is a “failed satire on the sex hype ".
