The film tells the story about Vihtori's henpecked life with his temperamental wife Klaara.
The film is based on the American comic strip Bringing up Father, which was translated to Finnish as Vihtori ja Klaara.
Eino Jurkka came to Tulio's rescue and suggested a film about Vihtori ja Klaara to him.
His wife Klaara (based on the character Maggie) wants to live a life typical of her "new standing", including visits to the opera.
However, Klaara's behaviour is not very typical of her "new standing": when she gets angry, she throws things like pots and plates at her husband.
The following day Vihtori, having skipped a visit to the opera, has a telephone conversation with his "darling" Ritva Vuorenrinne.
At night, Vihtori has a vivid dream where Klaara chases him with a rolling pin in her hand through the streets of Helsinki.
Vihtori buys an expensive piece of jewellery as a nameday gift for Ritva, which he forgets to pay for in his hurry.
She also sells her cosmetics store to Klaara as she is marrying her fiancé Klasu and moving away from Finland.
Vihtori, who has already bought the cosmetics shop to Ritva, ends up having to buy it for a second time to Klaara.
Tulio takes the "comic book style" to great lengths with noticeable optical transfers.
The critic for Uusi Suomi writes: "The director Teuvo Tulio moves in light frames at this time -- He hardly believes himself he can be taken quite seriously", while Karjala writes: "The amusement quality of this farce is mainly at a level where one could say 'Yes this is funny but it hardly makes you laugh' - the tricks are so elementary."
The critic for Uusi Suomi writes: "...as an image user and a utiliser of pure cinematographic means Tulio was in the 1930s years, maybe even decades ahead of his colleagues in the field of domestic film.
