Revolutionens datter (1918)

The film tells the story of Albert Fjeld, a worker at a shipyard, and Claire Staalhammer, the shipyard director's daughter. Albert acts as a spokesman for the workers when they make a demand for a pay rise, which director Staalhammer rejects. The workers do not accept this and they start a revolt. Albert, who has fallen in love with Claire, manages to save her when the workers storm the director's residence, and they flee to the neighboring country, where Claire gets to live with a friend of her father, landowner Dalton. Dalton's son tries to impress Claire, but she doesn't want him. Claire is eventually told that order has been restored in her home country, and that she has inherited almost a million kroner. Because of the money, Squire Dalton is happy to see his son marry Claire, and she feels it would be rude to refuse outright, as the Squire has shown her great hospitality. She therefore proposes a boxing match between Albert and the landowner's son over who will marry her. Albert wins the fight, and five years later we see them living happily in their homeland.
