Per (Ole Ernst) is a young, homeless drifter. He accepts a proposition by a factory owner that he burn the factory down for the insurance, and he reluctantly does the deed. Pursued by the police, he seeks help from the factory owner, who sends him to his country estate to be cared for by his wife. She and Per become attracted to one another and have a romantic encounter before Per's crimes catch up with him and he must move on.
