According to the belief of the Sami people, little chahkli men live underground, mischievous, fussy, but kind. One of the boys gets to the earth and stays with an old man and an old woman. They accept him despite his mischievousness, unwitting pest and restlessness. Realizing that he has found a real family, the boy tries to protect those he cares about from the robbers. Having outwitted the bandits, he returns to the place where he has found a new home.
