Mr. Vibe wants nothing to do with the family’s new puppy and is thus unaware that Mrs. Vibe names the dog Ophelia. By a twist of fate, an orphaned child is left on the family’s doorstep. At the same time, Mr. Vibe discovers a letter with a plea to take care of little Ophelia. Jealousy consumes Mr. Vibe as he believes that this Ophelia must be his wife’s child born out of wedlock!
The film has German intertitles with Danish subtitles. The preserved fragment lacks the beginning and the end. Read the full plot in the film script.
Lauritz Olsen plays the role of Mr. Vibe. Like many other revue actors of the time, he was part of Lau Lauritzen Sr.’s regular comedy troupe. Olsen starred in more than 200 films at Nordisk Films Kompagni between 1907 and 1920, and continued his acting career until his death in 1955. This makes Lauritz Olsen the most productive actor as well as longest active actor in Danish film history.
