action

Grete Elstad is the daughter of the General Director of the Norwegian State Railways, Nils Elstad. Her feelings sway between Lieutenant Lund and the sportsman Tom Heiberg, a ski jumper, back and forth. When Heiberg went bankrupt due to a fateful accident at a ski jumping competition, the fickle Grete turned to the lieutenant. Tom then decides to apply as an advertising specialist with the Norwegian State Railways. One day he got the crazy idea of ​​robbing a train of the competing company together with some buddies in black mask, just to prove his efficiency. The men are pursued, but thanks to his skills on snowshoes and skis, he can shake off his pursuers into town. There the "snowshoe bandits" think they are safe.

Heiberg fears that a train conductor was killed in the attack and is therefore desperate. Soon Grete found out that Tom could be one of the snowshoe bandits and blames herself for having left him behind after his mishap at the competition. Gradually, however, the two young people begin to find each other again. Tom Heiberg returns the looted property to the owners, and it turns out that there was no death in the robbery. Instead of an expected prison sentence, he even got a job with the state railroad, because this attack only served one purpose: Heiberg wanted to prove that the competing railroad was much more unsafe than the railroad of his future employer.
