In this love story disguised as a crime story, we meet the young man, Per effectively portrayed by upcoming actor Ole Ernst as an energetic conman lured into trying to set a factory on fire to catch in on the insurance. The plan backfires and both the factory owner, his wife and the conman hunted by the police must flee to Sweden. There is a desperate yet humorous and solid atmosphere in this plot, where the young swindler manages to get in on the factory owners wife by his loud manners and unpolished backstreet charm. The erotic scenes in the Swedish summerhouse are as blunt as they get in feature films, but the public taste had come to accept still more of this through the pornographic movies launched at the time. The film is the best second part of a trilogy following 'Flugten' and preceding 'Blind makker', being the highpoint of Hans Christensen's directorial career.
