Plot
In Solbråten, the men are so busy with the residents' association, community work, and the Norwegian Home Guard that they hardly have time to eat before they take a nap in the middle of the day. The fact that they also have to show up at work does not make life any easier. The acting dispatcher at the Solbråten post office, Gunnar Sørensen, is chairman of the main committee. He is assisted by the tax appraisal secretary Baltzersen (who has a telephone) and the master butcher Anton Andersen. The latter is also chairman of the name committee for Solbråtendagen, while Baltzersen is chairman of the entertainment, awards, and ribbon committee. Gunnar Sørensen is also quite interested in the "weaker sex." His wife Randi does not accept this. She allies herself with her school friend Eva Wikdahl, Solbråten's new dentist. Under Randi's determined leadership, the dentist sets her sights on Mr. Sørensen.
