The brothers Ingmar and Gustav Nilsson are running a motel and a shop where everything from car tires to fish nets can be bought. They`re very unsuccessful, and Ingmar wants to sell the place, but Gustav doesn`t. One day the municipality wants to buy their business buildings, but they refuse to tell why until they`ve bought it. Meanwhile, Ingmar wants to hire a woman that he can fall in love with and Lufsen, a dizzy craftsman, is trying to fix some sewage pipes in the kitchen.
