- A love tale, not of the sunny south but of the frigid north. Olaf Guildmar, a Norse blonde, of a strong and honor-loving race, and who still abides to the old=fashioned customs of his fore-fathers, is the father of the beautiful Thelma, who brightens his lonely life. While lost in the splendor of the Midnight Sun, Thelma is approached by Sir Philip Errington and his friend, Lorimer, two Englishmen on a pleasure cruise in the far distant north. They are charmed by the simplicity and frankness of the maiden, which is entirely new to them, coming as they do from the "Land of Mockery." Sir Philip and Lorimer make the acquaintance of Olaf and gain entrance to his heart by protecting him against a superstitious mob, which believe that Olaf had cast an evil spell upon Britta, who lives in their home and who refuses to go back to her grandmother, who has treated her very cruelly. The courtship proceeds and Sir Philip succeeds in winning the heart and hand of Thelma, but not without some difficulties with the weird misshapen dwarf Sigurd, who watches Sir Philip with jealousy and mistrust. In his misery over the departure of Thelma, he jumps from the high cliffs into eternity. After their marriage Sir Philip brings his beautiful wife into London society, where she is the admiration of all men and the envy of the women. A year elapses and we find Thelma very unhappy. Through the intricacies of a woman in love with Sir Philip, Thelma is convinced that her husband does not love her, and not wishing to be in the way, she leaves the once so happy home in the dead of night and returns to her fatherland. Sir Philip follows quickly, accompanied by Britta and Lorimer. Olaf demands an explanation of Sir Philip, which he vies and plainly shows that the whole trouble was from the machinations of a jealous woman. Sir Philip and Thelma are reconciled. Then follows the death of the grand old man. Following the customs of his forefathers, he breathes his last upon his ship, which is headed out to sea, bearing to its last resting place all that was mortal of Olaf Guildmar.—The Film Index synopsis
