When war breaks out between Denmark and Germany in 1848, Christian from poor Nyboder is hired as a bugler. Zealous and proud, he leaves Copenhagen with his old father and cousins Orla and Frants to defend Schleswig against the German enemy. One day, Christian takes on the dangerous task of delivering a depeche about a German attack on the line of defence near Egå – a trip full of obstacles and grim revelations. (Stumfilm.dk)
