Plot

Vigdis is the daughter of the teacher and fervent church singer Jens Bjørkeli. Vigdis is often at parties with other young people from the area, something her strict parents do not like. Their concern is not entirely unjustified because the residents of the area have started talking about their daughter in the town. Her parents try to get her to go to Christian meetings, but she always manages to evade this.

The parents suspect their maid Kari of helping Vigdis. Vigdis is in love with Dr. Victor Falck. However, she does not tell anyone about this because Falck is engaged to Gerda Storm. In the evening there is dancing, and Vigdis kisses Falck. A few days later there is a mission meeting, and Vigdis is there with her parents. A forest worker, Anton, stands outside drunk. However, Vigdis manages to follow him home. Nine months later, Vigdis gives birth to a son. Despite attempts at persuasion, Vigdis does not want to say who the child's father really was.
