action
The old Munk married a bad woman the second time, namely Zita, who wants to usurp both the farm and the beautiful old stud "Enekaer" together with Willers, the manager who tortures the animals. Both are threatened to come under the hammer when the lawyer Frantzen Munk's childhood friend Hans Offor intervenes. He grants a loan and at the same time sends his son Ole to Munk's property to see if everything is going well. Ole likes the valuable red trotter horses, but he likes the blonde Bente, Munk's daughter from his first marriage, even better. Everything soon changes for the best under Ole's steadfast regiment; but then old Munk, ailing for a long time, dies, and the evil Willers shows up with a letter of gift for Zita and demands either 25,000 kroner or the horses.
In the end, however, the good wins: At the big trotting derby in Charlottenlund, Ole wins with the stallion Junker, and nothing stands in the way of ultimate happiness with Bente.
Reviews
The Protestant film observer is not exactly enthusiastic: “Little homeland schnulz from Denmark. […] Too primitive and too boring for a recommendation. ”The lexicon of international film judges a little better . In his opinion, the work is a cozy Danish entertainment film with appealing landscape shots.
