Plot

The rich builder Samuel Plottner (Claes Eriksson) catches on when his son Joakim (Anders Eriksson) write a newspaper article entitled "Eternit sheets makes you slimmer". The headline makes Eternit sheet manufacturer Davidsson & Locks shares skyrocket and everyone wants to know what Joakim knows.

Joakim claims that the whole thing was a printing error, the article was about cooking and that the title would be "Lasagna sheets makes you slimmer". But he also has a secret. He and his two brothers, Alexander and Lukas are really the same person, something that only he and their mother, Desiree knows.

The "shark" in the title is alluding to "finance sharks" (sly and dishonest business men).

Tenacious trial

In 2007, a lingering lawsuit was settled regarding the film Hajen som visste för mycket. Claes Eriksson reported TV4 when they found advertising in his film without his permission. Eriksson won over TV4, but the TV channel continued appeal until the matter was taken up by the Supreme Court. Eriksson won even there when the court said that TV4 violated Claes Eriksson through commercials.
