Old man Topi and his accordion have been missing for a week. Vili Parkkuu finds revealing clues by visiting the man's daughter. A ticket inspector Lilli is the opportunity that slips away.
Vili reluctantly takes the case of a lost dog and ends up on the run himself. A dog is not always man's best friend and a public aquarium is not the ideal date location.
A carpenter Reska can't remember much from previous night and has lost his toolbox. Vili asks around and is drawn to a woman at the restaurant. All this leads to a house owned by Tolppa. It's the case Vili has been waiting for.
Vili is on the hunt for proof and finds some shady financial dealings. The papers point in the direction of Ruovesi and to his surprise, a familiar woman Maria tags along for a ride. Her last name is also Tolppa.
Maria's peculiar habit is revealed when Vili Parkkuu shadows her in a department store. The rest of the afternoon is spent alternating between a café, a police station and a tow yard.
A rugged sailor returns from a two-month deployment, only to find his home empty. Vili takes the case to find the missing girlfriend, but it seems she doesn't want to be found.
