Emil Svensson lives with his mother and father, little sister Ida, farmhand Alfred, and maid Lina on a picturesque farm in Småland. He is an unusually lively little boy, who just can't resist trying out every whim that enters into his white-haired head.

As a result, Emil spends a lot of quality time in the wood shed carving wood figurines and waiting for Anton's temper to cool down.
