action

They are really good guys, the three young men on a Danish fishing trawler. They do their work with energy, heart and soul. In love, they are sometimes a bit cumbersome. But her main grief is the ship that has not yet been paid off. Before they can satisfy the relentless bank, all three of them have to join the military, as sailors on a proud warship. They probably stay halfway in their profession, but as civil seamen who are not very adaptable they confuse some things that often drive the first officer to white heat.

The father and sister of one of the three lively sailors are now driving the little cutter. But their catch doesn't really want to go ahead, and so the three unceremoniously direct their boat to the good fishing grounds using the warship's radio system. When the bank deadline approaches and there is still not enough money to settle the debt, the commander of the warship himself orders the assistance of the entire crew when a huge eel train lies well in front of the nets. Everything is fine with that: the bank is satisfied at the last minute, and when it comes to love, the three of them get it right, one of them fishing for the first officer's daughter with paternal benevolence.

criticism

The lexicon of international films draws the following conclusion: The rather silly than funny adventures of three fishermen in the Danish navy. A comedy with little action without jokes and humor. The Evangelische Film-Beobachter has a slightly better opinion of the film : Not quite as fresh and original as other cheerful films from Denmark with the now well-known cast, but still carefree entertainment without depth.
