The youth of Torvenkylä go to the lake to have fun. Rutanen notices that Allu is in love with Kerttu. Tauno hears strange sounds on a crow hunting trip.
The Nyyssölä family comes to visit Torvenkylä. While Kirsti Nyyssölä is taught the ways of the village's youth by Rutanen, a drunken Allu wants to paddle around the world on a canoe.
Apart from Tauno's experimental ones, not much happens in Torvenkylä. The verbal association between Allu and Kerttu is badly interrupted by a surprising intervention.
