A quick overview of Swedish film history, featuring a breathtaking cavalry of scenes from about 170 films.

Au XVIe siècle, trois mercenaires écossais massacrent les habitants d'une ferme et s'emparent du trésor de Messire Arne. Seule rescapée, la nièce d'Arne, Elsalill, croise par hasard la route des assassins et s'éprend de l'un d'entre eux.

A naval adventure that focuses on the rivalry among the crew, particularly the indignation wrought by the behavior of inplacable Captain Steen. Dick, one of the sailors, is one of the most rebellious and draws up plans to exact vengeance. The opportunity arises, but an incident that may sink the ship changes the focus of attention. The lighting for the film and the composition of the scenes are regarded as the highlights of the movie.
