Dirch Passer does it again. In this incredibly funny Passer film, we meet Dirch as a member of the ground staff at SAS. Dirch has one small flaw: he is hopelessly in love with a stewardess and finds it very difficult not to dream about his crush while he is at work. Time and again, he dreams himself into various heroic roles in order to attract the attention of his beloved Agneta. We meet Dirch as a flight captain, archaeologist, gangster, sailor, prince, defense attorney, boxing champion, and soldier in the Wild West. These are all roles he immerses himself in through his daydreams. But when you dream, you usually wake up again, and so does Peter, and every time he finds himself in the most embarrassing situations. The question is whether Peter will ever succeed in getting his Agneta to see his side, and will she even notice that he dreams about her, and will he be able to keep his job at SAS?

In a run-down part of town there stands a small theater, owned by an eccentric old man. His spectacle "The Mechanical Dancer" is a sight to behold, although perhaps it has seen better days. We follow him and the strange cast of characters he encounters in the running of his show, and as a series of crimes unravel over three acts, we see how each character's fate will change after one perilous night.
