Kaasua, komisario Palmu! is a Finnish crime movie directed by Matti Kassila. The main cast of actors is the same as that of the first though some actors such as Elina Salo, Pentti Siimes and Aino Mantsas play different characters, It's based on the first Inspector Palmu novel Kuka murhasi rouva Skrofin? by Mika Waltari but was the second one filmed, after Komisario Palmun erehdys. Unlike the first film it was produced by Fennada. According to director Kassila, Toivo Särkkä didn't like the story of the novel and thus its rights were purchased by Fennada producer Mauno... Mäkelä, who also produced the third movie Tähdet kertovat, komisario Palmu. Mrs. Skrof, a hated woman belonging to a religious sect, is found dead in her apartment, apparently from inhaling gas leaking from her cooker while under the influence of sleep-medication. Several details of the case lead Inspector Palmu to suspect that she was murdered including a crooked soup pot, her unusually strong sleeping pills and the fact her dog has been killed . In the film the murderer is revealed to be Kurt Kuurna.
