Auf einer einsamen nordischen Insel begegnen sie sich: die schöne junge Frau, die hier täglich badet, und der Fremde, den die romantische Insel anzieht. Nebel verhindert ihre Rückkehr, und sie verbringen die Nacht zusammen. Am nächsten Tag ist die Unbekannte verschwunden, keiner weiß den Namen des anderen. In ihrer Nacht nannten sie sich Maja und Per. Ein Jahr später. Rittmeister Nyborg erkennt in Karin, der Frau seines Vorgesetzten Oberst Knudson, seine Maja wieder, sie erkennt ihren Per. 

They meet one another on a lonely northern island:  the pretty young woman, who bathes here every day; and the stranger, attracted to this romantic island.  Fog prevents them from returning to whence they came and so, they spend the night together.  Next day, the unknown man is gone and no one has a clue what his name is.  In their special night, they called one another Maja and Per.  One year later, Captain Nyborg recognizes Karin, the wife of his boss Colonel Knudson, to be “Maja”.  And she recognizes him as her “Per”.
