When John Søgaard (a lazy student who gets all expenses covered by his uncle as long as he studies botanics), meets John Søgaard (a chef on a whalehunter ship which is currently in dock) they immediately become best friends. The student hires the chef, but then the uncle dies, leaving the student a big farm. As he goes to check it out he falls in love with the caretakers daughter. Confusion galore is coming up, as the two Johns do the Prince and the Pauper thing - they switch places. Maybe not the most original of stories, but the acting by Dirch Passer and Willy Rathnov makes this one more than worth your while. Especially one sequence with Ove Sprogøe and Morten Grundwald (two thirds of the Olsen Gang) is hysterically funny. (7/10)
