The Wolf Hunters

Lau Lauritzen Sr., 1926, 62 min
Nikolajsen is shocked by the news that he has an adult daughter who lives in Jutland – where wild wolves wander. His friends – the baker, the butcher, the tailor and the shoemaker – are entranced by the honour and glory they would gain by venturing forth and exterminating the feral wolves. Unfortunately for their chances of success, Nikolajsen and Co. decide to hire Pat and Patachon as their hunting guides. And so the wolf hunters will probably end up chasing their own tails for a while before Nikolajsen can be reunited with his daughter.

The film has Danish intertitles.

The film is part of Lau Lauritzen Sr.’s popular Pat & Patachon series, which was Danish film’s biggest export success throughout the 1920s. The film was re-released with sound in 1954 together with ‘The Thunderstones’ under the title ‘Happy Days’.
