Tuula Temonen and Tapio Riikonen "Paikanvälitystoimistossa : 1:ssä näytöksessä by Otto Tiuppa" is a Finnish one-act social drama written in the early 20th century. The play satirizes urban job-placement offices, exposing how greedy middlemen and predatory gentlemen exploit impoverished servant girls and unemployed workers. In a city placement agency, the cynical manager Hirviö boasts about profit while squeezing fees from desperate applicants. He pressures the rural maid Elsa into serving him and tries to supply the rich rake Vintiö with a young country girl, sending others into dubious posts. Elsa unexpectedly reunites with her childhood sweetheart, the workman Mikko, who demands his papers and refund. When Vintiö discovers Hirviö’s lies, he threatens scandal; Elsa denounces both men and quits. Defrauded women surge back to reclaim their money, and amid Mikko’s pressure and public outrage, the cornered agent crumbles as the curtain falls.
