De vergeløse

Albert, whose mother is hustling, is placed under Mr. Flugum's care. Together with other children who have been put out, he has to work like a slave, but is only given miserable food. The children are constantly beaten up by Flugum and his wife. Albert escapes, but avoids being punished. A young girl, Gunda, arrives at the farm. Albert falls in love with her, in spite of the fact that a Child Care inspector has made her pregnant. But then one of the children’s father, a sailor, turns up. He brings all the children with him to Oslo in order to complain to the authorities. (Norsk Filminstitutt)
