A group of prisoners sentenced to death strive to put together a comical theater play. Their intention is to entertain the guards and the commander of the German troops, who is visiting the jail —if they succeed, they won’t be executed. The cast is leaded by Toivo Paikka, once considered the funniest man in Finland. With dark humor and grotesque situations, the film shows mankind in a comical light.
