The year is 1948, a Sunday in the time around midsummer, and one year has passed since Lennart got work in the city. Matilda (Lennart's mother) longs for grandchildren, and when Lennart comes home to the farm, a wedding is planned on the Kristersson farm. Matilda believes that Lennart will be married to Inga, whom has been in America for one year and also running the firm of Vilgots Konfektion & Import ("Vilgot's Confection & Import"), which she bought the year before. Lennart and Inga have always gotten along well, so they would be a perfect couple, according to Matilda. She doesn't know, however, that there are no such feelings between Lennart and Inga. But Lennart finds it hard to convince Matilda and chooses to keep it more or less a secret since he doesn't want to hurt his mother's feelings. Nils-Erik (Lennart's father) has changed character since last year and is now the opposite of lazy, but he continues to be extremely stingy and even wanting to quit the usage of their telephone - which Matilda has not done, but the whole time has kept the telephone hidden outside. When Matilda suggests that they should move into the city (which makes it easier for them, if they get grandchildren) and sell their house, Nils-Erik gets skeptical. But when she succeeds in convincing him, he quickly gets excited, and wants to sell the farm straight away. The exceptionally un-intelligent mail-carrier Dag-Otto, which almost always is with the Kristerssons these days, does them the favour of looking for speculators and even conducting the auction, because he finally has a day off from the honourable post office. However, they don't know that their neighbour Valdemar, which has gotten a little higher status thanks to his daughter Inga and has even begun the snobbish habit of smoking, is interested in the farm and gives an offer - and makes sure that the auction becomes a failure for Nils-Erik. Matilda hires a maidservant, Rakel, from a wholesaling directour (characters from the earlier farce Bröstsim & gubbsjuka (1999)) to help out with the wedding. Rakel is very afraid of men, and immediately when Lennart gets to see her, he falls in love, which doesn't make things easier. But she realises that Lennart is special and gets some feelings for him. Her trust in him doesn't last for long, though, because Inga comes hom?e from America and it turns out that she is pregnant. Everyone, but Inga, Lennart and Valdemar, believes that Lennart is the father (while the real father is a rich American). Lennart succeeds in convincing Rakel that the child is not his, and comes up with a plan in order to make Inga squeeze out the truth. The thought of Lennart becoming a father makes Nils-Erik gallop in happiness... because he knows that the government shall, beginning in next year, be giving out children's allowance each month, and with such an allowance, he would afford to build up his farm. Everything turns into complete chaos, but luckily, everything does patch up in the end, and Lennart gets married to Rakel - wedded by an eccentric Pentecostal Pastor that has visited the farm during the whole afternoon, whom Lennart has kept hidden and thought of as merely an annoying poetical beggar or pedlar with the same first name.
