Lieutenant Kiessling once more shows himself as Amanda's helper when he gets the German barricade moved down the beach. However, he has a small request in return. When Weyse doesn't seem to get any further with his memoirs, because his wife is stuck in Copenhagen with the wanted scene painter Svend Damm, a bold plan to get rid of the freeloader is born. But will it work? Mrs. Frigh is in shock after the sight of the swindler from last summer and most of all wants to forget it all but then her active daughter takes action. In the middle of all this, Merchant Madsen suddenly gets involved in the fate of a young German soldier.

Merchant Madsen feels complicit in the young German soldiers' desertion, but it won't be the last time their paths meet. In an attempt to repress the thought that his wife is on the run with the Communist theatre painter Svend Damm, actor Weyse throws himself energetically into his memoirs, but when the police come knocking on his door everything changes. At the same time, Madsen's faithful companion August Molin arrives with daunting plans of desertion, while a small present from the German Lieutenant Kiessling suddenly makes Amanda lie to the entire hotel.
