The Run Away Bride

Late one evening, Pat and Patachon are at a bar where they strike up a conversation with a young, mournful man. His name is Per Hammer, and the three quickly become firm friends. The next morning, the vagabonds’ temporary home – a moving van – is set in motion, and before they know it, they find themselves amidst the snow-clad mountains of Norway. Here they stumble upon a female skier who has swooned in the snow. They save her from freezing to death by taking her to an abandoned ski cabin, which happily proves to be amply supplied with firewood, canned goods and alcohol. The woman turns out to be Per Hammer’s girlfriend Ellen, who has been taken to Norway against her will because her father wants her to marry a Mr Ludvigsen. Ever eager to help, Pat and Patachon send a telegraphed message to their new friend so he can be reunited with his love.
