- This film contains the Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen's (1872-1928) original footage from the South Pole expedition that took place between 1910 and 1912. It was with this expedition that Roald Amundsen was credited with having discovered the point of the South Pole - a race in which many were involved. Amundsen arranged for it to be filmed during the expedition to the South Pole, so that he could later use it in his lecture tours. The film was a popular feature in his lectures, and he drew full houses in Norway and Europe with these - even in England, the home country of competitor Robert F. Scott. This is a unique film history release from the journey where Amundsen wrote world history. The film has been newly restored and has newly recorded music, so it can be experienced as it was shown during the premiere in 1912. UNESCO's international register Memory of the World is an overview of documentary heritage of particularly great importance to humanity as a whole. Roald Amundsen's footage from the South Pole is one of the very few films in this register.

- Halvorsen was a draftsman and cartoonist. He is going to be the very first cartoon creator in Norway. The first film he made (also in 1913) was called Oskar Mathiesen on ice skates, but this has been lost. Sverre Halvorsen was inspired by the German cartoonist Robert Leonard, and already from 1913 Halvorsen made cartoons for director Randall at Cirkus Tivoli in Kristiania. Today, only Roald Amundsen exists at the South Pole from this period. The drawings were made using chalk and blackboard and the technique is called 'lightning sketch'. Later - in, among other things, Det nye Aar? (1921), Halvorsen used the pixillation technique, a technique where real objects and figures are animated. Sverre Halvorsen is today best known as one of Norway's leading cartoonists and witticisms, and helped start the Tegnerforbundet in 1916.
- Prologue: While away on important business Justin Winthrop receives the news of the birth of a son; his supreme wish is now granted, since he is provided with an heir to his vast estates. Countess Winthrop, while walking in the grounds of her country estate, encounters a young gypsy mother, Ayla, and her babe, who relates how she has been cursed by her father the gypsy chief, and turned away from the tribe on account of her nameless child. Countess Winthrop gives shelter to the homeless ones, and that night the Winthrop baby, who has been ailing, dies. The Countess, realizing what a terrible disappointment this will be to her husband, forthwith takes the gypsy baby to replace her own, and gives Ayla a locket containing her photograph. Thirty-Five Years Later: The supposititious Justin Winthrop. Jr., has become a distinguished politician, and it is expected that he will be appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. Beresford, who is infuriated by this rumor, receives a call from Winthrop's butler, who brings a letter written by the Countess upon her deathbed, informing her son that she is not his real mother, but that he is the son of a gypsy woman. This letter will make Beresford an irresistible weapon against his opponent. He consults Ayla, now known as Madam de Thebes, the famous clairvoyant, and she predicts a great political victory for him. While on his way to the Senate, Winthrop rescues Louise Beresford from a robber, and love at first sight ensues. Upon her return home Louise overhears her father and the butler discussing the letter, which the latter has stolen from Winthrop's desk. Louise at once warns Justin. Madam de Thebes, fearing arrest, sends the locket given her by the Countess to Louise knowing of the love Louise has for her son. Unconscious of the harm she is doing Justin, Louise shows her father the locket, thereby providing Beresford with all the weapons against Winthrop. Madam de Thebes. who has been arrested, escapes from prison through Louise's help and reaches the House of Parliament in time to refute the public accusation of Beresford, that Winthrop is the son of the gypsy fortune-teller. She falls fainting and is carried to an antechamber, where Beresford and Winthrop become reconciled. Madam de Thebes, subduing to the very last the desire to clasp her son to her heart, dies, and her failing senses can no longer hear her son's tender whisper: "My mother."
