Insurance actuary Henri Koskinen has finally restored order both to his life and to YouMeFun, the adventure park he unexpectedly inherited, when a man from the past appears and turns everything upside down again. To make matters worse, the park’s equipment supplier is taken over by a shady trio with confusing demands and Toy of Finland Ltd refuses to sell him the new Moose Chute he has planned as the park’s main attraction.
