What happens

The Wild North (Finnish: Villi Pohjola) is a 1955 Finnish Western comedy adventure film written and directed by Aarne Tarkas. The film is starring by Tapio Rautavaara and Elina Pohjanpää. The film was not a box office success, generating losses of four million Finnish marks, and the film's reception was also mixed. However, the film received two sequels in 1963: Gold from the Wild North and The Secret Valley in the Wild North. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
