Plot
David Lindell (Birger Malmsten) and Maggi (Barbro Kollberg) have not been lucky. David is a newly-released prisoner who now wants to start a new life. Maggi aspired to be an actress, but got pregnant during a chance encounter and has now fled to a provincial town to give herself a second chance. She meets David at a railway station. They represent everything the straitlaced society rejects. People take advantage of them, the couple is accused of theft, and thrown out of their apartment. That is when a guardian angel appears, in the unlikely form of the “Man with the Umbrella”.
