During a trip to the wild forests of Sweden, amateur botanist Vilhelm (Jørgen Ryg) captures on a photograph what may be a troll. The picture creates a sensation in his home country of Denmark, and a group of scientists is shipped to Sweden to investigate. The "troll" turns out to be kittenish, blond Lone Hertz (an actress who was either loved or completely dismissed), decked out a la "Puck" in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Apparently a satire on yellow journalism, the film was a major flop for director Knud Leif Thomsen, who put the blame squarely on reactionary reviewers.
