Plot
[edit]Sjur returns one summer day to his parents' home at Råvangen. He has just become a corporal in Oslo, and he brings with him his fiancée Dagmar, a beautiful and distinctively city girl. Dagmar will live at Råvangen this summer, while Sjur travels around the heath. Dagmar is met with great skepticism both by Sjur's family and by the villagers, and not least by Ingeborg, Sjur's old girlfriend. It does not take long before Dagmar flirts wildly with the men in the village and not even Sjur's father, Ola, escapes her influence. When Sjur comes home, the couple goes out to dance. Dagmar dances with many men, Sjur gets drunk, and Ingeborg takes care of him. A few days later, one of Dagmar's admirers, Jens, comes and offers her NOK 5,000 to end her engagement with Sjur and marry him instead. Dagmar needs the money and therefore agrees. However, the money has been stolen, and Dagmar is forced to pay it back. Sjur returns to Ingeborg and is happy that his relationship with Dagmar is over.[4]
