- Synopsis:
Olavi Koskela (Kaarlo Oksanen), a young and handsome man, wanders as a lumberjack in the countryside, as women and landscapes change frequently. However, Kyllikki (Rakel Linnanheimo), the daughter of the rich Moisio house, does not easily fall for Olavi's charms. Bold Olavi has to descend a life-threatening rapid to win Kyllikki's favor. As if by a miracle, the young man completes the log rafting, and Kyllikki's reluctance begins to melt. Love goes up in flames when Olavi and Kyllikki have to swim across the stream, but the Moisio's host and Kyllikki's father (Veikko Linna), gets furious when he hears about the young couple's intentions to get married. However, Olavi is not quite an ordinary log man: he is the son from the mighty Koskela house, who has left home after arguing with his parents; Olavi angered them by intending to marry the maid Annikki (Mirjami Kuosmanen)... - Actors:
