The story is a powerful and vivid tale of the Sweden of three hundred and fifty years ago. It is not a historical drama, but a tragic love story in which rebellion, treasure and murder constitute the action. The atmosphere of the story is maintained beautifully by the superb exterior scenes in which some excellent photograph effects are obtained of snow and ice.
