Professor Bengt Svensson has enjoyed a comfortable life. Each summer he leaves the southern Swedish city of Lund to spend his holidays at the quiet resort of Tällberg on the shores of Lake Siljan. Here, at the Hotel Dalecarlia, he settles down to several months of painting and catching butterflies. It is midsummer and the fragrance of wild flowers is in the air while the gentle slopes are echoing with violin music. As always, he joins in the merry solstice celebrations when, one morning, he falls prey to the charms of Svea a little girl of barely teenage years with long blonde hair, blue eyes and alluring appearance. Suddenly everything changes. Smitten by her beauty, his health deteriorates as he seeks her presence. As the festivities planned for his sixtieth birthday draw closer, Bengt senses an aching void of loneliness. But surely its far too late to change his lifestyle now. Worse still, neither the obliging hotel staff nor a local doctor seem capable of helping him. Then, fearing his life is drawing to an untimely end, he abandons all restraint.

He is tall, dark-eyed and hardly a girl can resist him. She is blonde, has blue eyes and knows how to deal with men, so the heat is on when Frisco and Lilli bump into each other in a Le?n disco. Swedish girls are rare in this Spanish city and guys simply dont let dancers of her looks slip through their fingers. It is captivation from the start and possibly more. After holidaying in Sweden together their friendship deepens and they move into a flat. Lilli soon dreams of getting married in a Swedish country church, but you cant expect Friscos enormous clan to travel all that way for the wedding. Instead, Lillis family and friends head south. So the scene is set for an extravagant summer wedding in Le?ns magnificent San Marcos complex. Being kidnapped, however, isnt exactly on the menu so who is behind it? Someone obviously has an account to settle as a wild chase begins. Amidst the turbulence of the local fiesta the wedding guests themselves get caught up in the chaos.
