This comedic work explores themes of fear and gender roles within a rural setting, focusing particularly on the dynamics among women and men in the face of potential danger from thieves. Through its dialogue and character interactions, the play probes societal expectations and the inherent strength found within its female characters. The plot revolves around a group of women who are left alone in a rural household amidst rumors of nearby robbers. As fear takes hold, they devise a plan to intimidate the supposed intruders by dressing one of their own, Kaisu, in men's clothing to create the appearance of a male presence in the house. This leads to humorous misunderstandings when actual suitors arrive, mistaken for robbers, resulting in comedic chaos. Each character showcases distinct personalities, from the fierce and proactive Kaisu to the anxious Vappu and Helena, ultimately highlighting the strength and resourcefulness of women when faced with fear and confusion. The play consists of clever dialogue and situational comedy, making it an entertaining examination of gender dynamics in a time when women's roles were often limited.
