00:00You will see what is left of a man called Gustav III and Bellman.

00:04This is Långa Gaten in Djurgårdstan.

00:07Then there is a bar in the house, of course.

00:10I would think so.

00:11And the girl's name is Ola Winblad.

00:13That's right.

00:14And the drinking gentlemen are Bellman's good friends.

00:17Now comes Skaldenfell.

00:19The greatest singer the north has.

00:22For safety's sake, the role of an opera singer is played,

00:25even though it is a silent film.

00:30But there is also a Bov in the play.

00:39Here we have him.

00:40Is that Ankerström?

00:42Captain Ankerström, yes.

00:44He tries to recruit supporters and distributes pamphlets.

00:47But here are all the royalists.

01:01Where are we now?

01:03In front of Huvudstadgård, where the royalists hold their secret meetings.

01:16Now they have agreed to murder the king.

01:19One for all and all for one.

01:25Here is the opera masquerade.

01:27And over there we have dubbed the hangers with a mask on the face and a doll in the hand.

01:31He offers his moment.

01:49The film is very rarely made,

01:51but it is one of the very first to be made in Sweden, already in 1908.
