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. [3]

Til sæters is a Norwegian silent comedy film from 1924 directed by Harry Ivarson. He also wrote the screenplay based on Claus Pavels Riis's 1850 musical Til Sæters: dramatisk Idyl med Sange.

Ivarson therefore added more people to the story and a little more intrigue, but retained the basic mood of the musical.
