Text: This film is based on the folktale "Beauty and the Beast" and is set during the time of the Vikings.
Thorsson the king is getting ill and wants to make a pilgrimage to an island cursed by Odin. The island is home to a horrible beast. His daughter Freyja (who is betroved to Sven, one of Thorrso's greatest warrior) doesn't wish Thorrson to go, fearing the king will not return. Sven and Thorsson send a group of warriors to kill the beast. The beast kills many and only Sven and a few remaining warriors escape. The beast captures the king and keeps him prisoner. The beast appears to know Thorrson but Thorsson doesn't recognize him.
Sven and the others return to the island. Sven tells Freya what had happened, but tells her that her father had been slain by the beast. Freya calls them all cowards.
Later Freya tries to get an army together to go back and save her father (whom she believes to be alive). However, no one will join her and Sven reminds her that he is now king and that she is betrothed to him.
That evening, Freya's friend Ingrid comes to her and tells her that her friend Algar has something to tell her. Algar tells Freya his account of what had happened and that the last he saw of her father Thorsson, he was alive.
Freya and Ingrid go to the island alone to rescue their father. The Beast finds them and lets Ingrid and the King go under the condition that Freyja stays.
