Its story takes place around 1850 in South Ostrobothnia, depicting local folklife and rebellion of the peasants against the Swedish-speaking arbitrary lensmann. While the lensmann character can be seen as being based on not only oppressive officers but also Klaus Fleming, a Swedish nobleman who was rebelled against by South Ostrobothnian pesants in the late 16th century, the character is also seen as a metaphor for ' the years of oppression' Finns were facing under Russian rule when the play was written. 1914 play The play was published by Artturi Järviluoma and produced in 1914.
