Koskenlaskijan morsian (1923)

'The silent drama The Bride of the Rafters (1923), directed by Erkki Karu, is based on Väinö Kataja's novel of the same name. In Perä-Pohjola, the mutual resentment of the hosts of Nuottaniemi and Paloniemi (Konrad Tallroth, Jaakko Korhonen) causes a dangerous situation during rafting. Hanna (Heidi Korhonen) from Nuottaniemi rescues Juhan (Einari Rinne) from Paloniemi and his beloved Koskenalusta Ant (Oiva Soini) from a ferry that broke down with a brave action.'
