| Summary |
"Perttunen kiinni! : 1-näytöksinen ilveily" by Sakari Ruotsalo is a one-act comedic play written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around a whimsical story involving a mix of characters—including an infamous thief, a widowed mother, her daughter, a preacher, and some guards—as they navigate a series of humorous misunderstandings and antics. The play likely explores themes of deception, romance, and the quirks of small-town life. In the play, Selma finds herself caught up in a chaotic situation when the notorious thief Perttunen unexpectedly appears in her life. As she grapples with the complications of having a well-known criminal in her home, Selma attempts to outsmart both Perttunen and her own mother, who is busy entertaining guests. The comedic tension builds as the characters interact, leading to a series of slapstick moments, mistaken identities, and mischief involving stolen items and romantic entanglements. Ultimately, the play showcases Selma's cleverness as she concocts a plan to capture Perttunen, highlighting themes of cunning versus brute force in a lighthearted manner.
