Synopsis:

A great cult comedy that was probably ahead of its time. A beloved movie among danish sailors. Martha is a very old and very rusty freight steamer, sailing in the Mediterranean, almost forgotten by the danish shipping line. The crew takes advantage of this, leading a very comfortable and luxurious life on board. Not without financial problems though. One day the ships owner suddenly needs to sail on her. He is a very old school and disciplined person and certainly not satisfied with the state of the ship and the crew. But the crew shows their worth when they have to fight for the survival of their beloved old steamer.

The townsfolk of two small, neigboring Danish islands are constantly arguing, but when an American oil company strikes oil on one of the islands, it spells prosperity for one over the other until the Americans step in to resolve the age-old dispute.
