Plot
Mons Østmoe wants to move up in the world by marrying Marie, the daughter of his uncle the bailiff, and becoming the village's new bailiff. He mistakenly arrests three students in the belief that they are wanted robbers. The three students surrender in the hope that the trial will become a farce. It turns out that one of those arrested, Albek, is Marie's secret fiancé and the judge's nephew. To avoid scandal, the bailiff allows Albek to marry his daughter. Mons must therefore settle for the bailiff's niece Ragnhild.{{cite web |title=Fjeldeventyret |url=https://www.nb.no/filmografi/show?id=791568 |website=Norsk filmografi |publisher=National Library of Norway |accessdate=May 24, 2019}}
