Summary "Korkea oikeus istuu: Yksinäytöksinen ilveily" by Martti Wuori is a one-act play written during the late 19th century. The book presents a courtroom drama that focuses on a petty theft case involving a stolen pig, with themes of social dynamics and the absurdities of rural life. The play employs a mix of humor and critique of legal proceedings, illustrating the interactions among characters in a rural community. The storyline revolves around the protagonist, Jeremias Pönttönen, who accuses Samuli Huilu of stealing his pig. The courtroom drama unfolds with a barrage of humorous testimonies from various witnesses, including Jeremias's wife, Serahviina, who adds to the chaos with her own grievances against her husband. Throughout the trial, it becomes clear that personal conflicts and misunderstandings overshadow the actual legal matter at hand. The comedic elements shine through the characters' interactions, their colorful personalities, and the ridiculousness of the accusations, ultimately leading to a resolution that showcases the absurdity of the entire situation and the challenges of genuine justice in a small community.
