action
The sailor Peter Hille has been looking forward to spending his Christmas vacation this year with his bride Hanna for a long time. But when he goes ashore in Copenhagen, he is disappointed that he is not expected from her. Fortunately for him, there is a free space in the seaman's home . However, he has to share his room with the dismissed stoker Valdemar Olsen. He is currently in the process of establishing a bourgeois existence as a singer, but currently makes a living mainly smuggling cigarettes.
The next day, Peter is woken up by the loud whimper of a toddler. Hanna's mother explains to him that this is his son Bob. Her daughter died only a few days after his birth, and it is now the father's duty to look after the child.
Initially, Peter supports his roommate Valdemar as a happy singing companion while making music in Copenhagen's backyards. He meets the magical Christine Hansen. It doesn't take long until she has taken little bob into her heart. At a New Year's Eve party, Peter and his new flame get closer. Peter's euphoria is dampened when his friend Valdemar is arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking by the police. Fortunately for Valdemar, Peter relieves him by testifying to his innocence.
Once again Peter goes to sea. His new fiancée waves to him from the quay, with little Bob in her arms. The next time he drives into the home port, it should be wedding soon.
music
Two songs by Bert Grund can be heard in the film , in which the chorus begins as follows:
Whiskey-Johnny
The whiskey is the sailor's consolation,
I like to shout “Scol” and “Prost”!
Sabinchen-Polka
Why has Sabinchen
been out of control for days?
A sailor goes ashore!
criticism
"Plain entertainment clothing, vacillating between comedy and drama."
