Lau Lauritzen Sr., Denmark, 1929

120 min.DK/FeatureFairy tale, ComedySilent films

Spirits are always high at the quayside pub The Red Rabbit. One day, adventurers Pat and Patachon come by to look for work. Their luck is in! A police raid sends all the staff to prison. On the spur of the moment, two women from the upper-middle class decide to study the life of the common people by paying them a visit. A brawl ensues, and Pat and Patachon chivalrously bring the two women to safety – or so they think! Before they know it, all four end up aboard a steamer in the pitch black of night, on their way to new adventures and unknown, dangerous shores.
