Plot
Erik Dahl, who has been convicted of smuggling, escapes from prison and seeks out his wife. She breaks up with him because he does not want to serve his sentence. Dahl still gets to meet his son at the circus the next day, where the police recognize him and he has to flee. Dahl seeks out his old friend, the plumber Jensen, who has kept some money for him. Dahl then manages to flee the city. He tries to change his appearance, dyes his hair and grows a mustache, and travels for a while in the forest. Eventually, he becomes braver, takes a coastal boat, and meets Tone. She gets off in a coastal town, and he follows her. Dahl checks into the local hotel, where he registers as a fishmonger. Soon the whole town believes that he has come there to start a fishing business. Josefsen, who has run such a business before, offers him company membership. The business is going brilliantly, and, when they get an offer to export eels to Denmark, Dahl takes the opportunity. He does this because, among other things, he can obtain a fake passport in Copenhagen. Tone meets him in Copenhagen, where they spend a few lovely days together. They travel home to the coastal town, where the local policeman has discovered that Dahl is wanted. He flees to Bergen to see his son for the last time before he goes abroad, but the police have been keeping an eye on the family the whole time and arrest him.
