The outgoing Norwegian art director in billboard advertising, Ole (Skolmen) takes his friend, the socially more cautious electric toaster quality inspector Stig-Helmer (Åberg) to a Stockholm midsummer costume party. The way home takes a wrong turn and the two friends are springboarded through an involuntary cruise on a garbage barge[lower-alpha 1] via an upper class financier's summer party at Saltnäs in the Stockholm archipelago to the idyllic island, Stråholmen, threatened by unscrupulous investors and a bent municipal board member's secret and foul development plans.
On the journey, the film takes the viewer through a virtual catalog of the more or less expensive and/or self inflicted mishaps which leasure sailers may call upon themselves in the Stockholm archipelago during the summer.
Events culminate with a match race between two 12 Metre yatchts, the Kookaburra II and the New Sweden being disrupted somewhat by an unidentified undersea vessel[lower-alpha 2]
