Together with her friend Elsie, Ann-Mari Löfvenholm, the young heir to Björneborg, returns from studies in Stockholm to the hometown.

A collective of office girls and their tribulations in the male world, female solidarity, the place of women in the labor and civil rights struggles and the conflict between love and work.

Åke Hjelm and Wilhelm Holt run a business together. Hjelm is honest and fair, but Holt takes every opportunity to gain some easy money – legal or not.

The film centers on Algot Söderholm's two daughters, beautiful Magda and plain, less desirable Lena. Adapted from the 1910 play by Ernst Fastbom.
