It stars Vesa-Matti Loiri, Marjatta Raita, Pertti Pasanen, and Simo Salminen.

[2] Uuno Turhapuro is the main character of the film, which was created by Spede and Loiri for Spedevisio.

The film was the first produced by Spede after nearly a two-year-long hiatus, when Spede's three feature films released in 1971 (Hirttämättömät, Saatanan Radikaalit and Kahdeksas Veljes) all failed to make a notable profit.

Uuno (Vesa-Matti Loiri) is shabby and lazy man, who has married a rich woman Elisabeth (Marjatta Raita) in order to eat and sleep from day to day without any worries.

The film was the second most popular in Finland between 1972 and 1976 with 593,744 admissions, behind The Earth Is a Sinful Song.
