The landlubber Stig-Helmer and his Norwegian friend Ole get on a barge by mistake. They arrive at an archipelago and have to spend Midsummer among the fancy rich boat people, their yachts and summer houses.

Stig-Helmer takes another vacation with his norwegian friend Ole. This time it's time for a skiing vacation in the Alps. Of course, Stig-Helmer has never learnt downhill skiing, but he attends a ski school. And together they manage to charm two women also on vacation.

Reinert, a fairly ordinary man, is out early on a fairly ordinary morning to throw away his equally ordinary garbage bag. At the same time, it is a rather extraordinary morning at a bank nearby, because Henrik and his gang are in the middle of carrying out a robbery. The film is a typical comedy of entanglements. The plastic bag gets in the way of both the robbers and the policeman chasing them, thus creating a lot of confusion and misunderstandings.
