The poor but skilled woodcutter Simen is conned by the rich Pikajord. Simen's answer is to reenact his own death through disappearance, and come back as a ghost. But then his attractive wife looks like a widow.

Aase lives together with her old grandfather above the city, and she dreams of going away. Kaare is in love with her, but her dreams seem to come between them.
