Everything is normal with the Krumborg family – but when you know them, nothing can surprise you anymore. The two robbers Boris and Ivan want to kidnap Krumme. Krumme wants to learn to ride a horse. Mom wants a healthy Christmas. Dad doesn't want a healthy Christmas. And it's hardly surprising that Krumme's Christmas present for Yrsa ends up under Mrs. Olsen's bed, or that caretaker Svendsen tries to repair Mrs. Olsen's sink – even though it's not broken. And the youngest member of the family, Grunk, has eaten all the Christmas decorations. Yes, everything is completely normal in the Krumborg family...

The wealthy Pantalone (Ulf Brunnberg) and Doctor Lombardi (Ewa Roos) have just witnessed the engagement between their children. Then an unusually cheeky figure pops up and throws all plans. She calls herself Truffaldina (Eva Rydberg) and seems free from what respect and label is called. Since an accident rarely comes alone, Rasponi now also enters the action and addresses all common concepts of the perishability of life. And it will not be less difficult when a gentleman from Torino, named Florindo, arrives at Venice and enters the same inn as Rasponi. Now it is for Brighella's innkeeper to take the vagina in beautiful hand and keep my good in bad play.
