What happens

Näköradiomiehen ihmeelliset siekailut (English: The Marvellous Adventures of a TV Man) is a 1969 Finnish comedy by Spede Pasanen. It features one of the most famous appearances by Vesa-Matti Loiri outside his Uuno Turhapuro persona also created by Pasanen. The film also features a famous cameo of the Finnish pop-star Danny. The film is often considered one of Spede's greatest, due to its human-story. It also features plenty of his zany comedy most of which takes place in Pasanen's character's fantasies (reflected off the sets at which he is working). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
