Aunt Elvi and Aunt Rauha devise a plan to find a suitable father figure for Ricky. However, Ricky is not thrilled with the idea, and neither is their neighbor Lennart, who has feelings for Rauha. To help Ricky, Lennart tries to create the "perfect man" who can meet Rauha's ever-changing expectations. But pretending to be multiple people at once quickly proves chaotic.
