Two police officers lie dead. The swede Ekstrøm and the youngster Gustav flees the scene of the crime. Based on a real double murder in 1926, this movie remained almost unseen for 57 years. When the film was set to premiere in 1950 one of the murderers, having served a full sentence, went to court to have the film stopped.

The film describes how resistance fighter Knut Magne Haugland operated an illegal telegraph station on the roof of the National Hospital in 1944 during World War II.

17 year old Gunnar Holm has been missing since Monday.
