Storyline

The theater group travels around playing Monopoly where the Swedish business executive Marcus Wallenberg always hits six. On the Swedish national day the group organizes a naval battle, with real boats, between the imperialist forces and communist countries on the water that runs between the Grand Hotel and the Royal Palace in Stockholm. In one scene of the show, a bishop is surfing on a cross, pulled behind the Red's boat. In the evening the police have had enough and pick up the actors of the theater group.
