Summary "Kauppias taskussa: Yksinäytöksinen ilveily" by Aatami Kahra is a one-act play written in the early 20th century. This comedic work captures the amusing intricacies of a small-town shopkeeper's life, where deceit and cleverness intertwine in the bustling atmosphere of a local store. The story revolves around themes of honesty, manipulation, and the humor found in everyday transactions. The plot revolves around Iisakki Markkanen, a shopkeeper who employs deceptive practices to overcharge his customers, showcasing a humorous take on ethics in commerce. The play highlights interactions between Markkanen and various customers, including Risto, the shop assistant who is actually Markkanen in disguise. As the narrative unfolds, Kalle Seppälä, who enters as a new assistant, begins to unravel the truth about Markkanen’s tactics. The comedy peaks as Kalle confronts Markkanen, revealing his wayward dealings and false identity, leading to a resolution that leaves the audience questioning the morality of business practices within the humorous framework of the local store's vivid cast of characters.
