In this particular little town, smuggling is ruled by one man, who is the king of smugglers. The smugglers who work for him don’t get to keep much of the profit themselves, but if they don’t work for him, they get in trouble, which his henchmen make sure. However, Albert Jansson arrives in town and starts taking up the competition with the smuggler king. Meanwhile, the police, together the customs office, try to catch the smugglers.
