A factory area in Stockholm (actual filming location: General Motors). A night watchman with a dog. Inside the factory works a young man, Joffan, whose real name is Johan Bergström and is a famous football player. He talks to the night watchman about the director's car, which he will take to Paris the next day. Inside the office sits the director's son, Holger, who is just having a conversation with a private office clerk who insists on receiving SEK 2,000 the following day, which Holger promises. Back to Joffan and the car. It is finished. The night watchman mentions that Holger and Joffan compete for the same girl and that she lives in Kullavik. Then a dynamite explosion is heard. Someone blew up the safe in the office. Joffan and the night watchman rush there - Joffan manages to get ahead and sees Holger standing in the middle of the devastation with the exploded safe door. Holger asks if Joffan has seen the dynamite that Holger claims he surprised. The newspapers announce the following day that the thief stole SEK 2,000 from the safe and left SEK 18,000 behind. At the police station, the commissioner sets up a series of detectives (one of them is Sigge Fõst in a dumb role) and says that the dynamite must be captured. You have to call the detective chief Pettersson-Sweden. The latter has been a famous football star, who 20 years ago scored a decisive goal against Denmark and thus turned a series of declines for the first time to victory. Pettersson investigates the crime scene and finds Holger and Joffan equally suspicious - Joffan has bought a motorcycle for SEK 2,000. Pettersson discovers a piece of paper burned by the explosion with a few readable words: "... burglary ... sending ... a thousand ... Kullavik …". In Jansson's hairdressing salon, we find the owner and his assistant Lundblad in full action. The latter has fur as a hobby. Pettersson enters and starts talking about motorboats, Pettersson's ragata to his wife wants one. In the newspaper there is a suitable advertised and it is in the water at Kullavik. All three go there and sing a song during the drive. In Kullavik at the guest house Sommarfröjd there are a number of people. The owner, Emelie Strömbom, former variety star, her foster daughter Eva, whose anonymous father sends her SEK 250 a month and the pea house Stina. At the beach and the jetty there is the old man Efraim who handles the boat sales. Pettersson steps on board the small racing boat, happens to start it and then embarks on a perilous journey where he scares mallards and Eva canoeing in a canoe. Her two admirers arrive. First Joffan, who quickly says goodbye and goes to his match at the Stadium, which makes Eva decide to favor Holger when he arrives. Holger and she play tennis when a certain mysterious Major Bergman appears. He has lived abroad for 20 years and soon Eva understands that this is her father. Her mother was a colleague of Emelie at the variety theater where she shone. Inside the Stadium, there will be an international match. Joffan has returned to Kullavik and Eva, but Pettersson-Sweden has convinced her that football is honorable and she sends him back to the Stadium. Holger suddenly sees a mysterious man move away and recognizes the dynamite he surprised at the factory. He says this to Pettersson who shadows the man to the Opera Cellar where he calls the police to arrest the man, who turns out to be the infamous "Bengtson with the leg" who was previously only a pickpocket. Holger admits, however, that it was he who "borrowed" SEK 2,000. The safe detonator came immediately afterwards and was frightened by Holger. Holger shows that he has SEK 2,000 on him, which he must immediately return to his father's company. Pettersson asks about the mysterious note: "... burglary ... sends ... a thousand ... Kullavik ...". Holger says that it was an unfinished letter to Eva, to come after dark, that he sends a thousand warm greetings before he reached Kullavik. Pettersson-Sweden returns to the Stadium where the football association's chairman Anton Johansson speaks for him due to the 20 years that have passed since Pettersson-Sweden scored the goal against Denmark. In memory, he gets the ball and the shoe that performed the goal. Pettersson gives a speech that ends with him hoping Swedish football will reach its dream goal: "Swedish victory over Uruguay!” (http://www.svenskfilmdatabas.se/sv/item/?type=film&itemid=3768#companies)
