The Suburban Vicar

Concordia Selander is the proud of her son, Olof Sandborg, who is a rather naive clergyman. His mother is now married to General Georg Blickingberg, whose son, Gabriel Alw is engaged to Mary Johnson. But they quarrel as her love quickly transfers to Sandborg. He, however, is clueless about it, and assumes they have made up their lovers' spat, although he loves Miss Johnson.

But after he upbraids pimp Frans Oskar Öberg, Öberg seeks his vengeance. When he injures one of his girls, Sandborg gives her a night's shelter. Öberg forces her to sign a letter to a local newspaper that matters were not that innocent. And Blickenberg is ready to believe the worst of everyone. Sandborg brings suit for the libel, but can he win?

Georg af Klercker's movie is well produced, directed and performed, even though the story itself depends on very simple characters. Still, that's what the audiences of the time preferred, and there's little doubt truth and right will prevail, and the handsome Sandborg and the beautiful Miss Johnson will get together for the inevitable happy ending.
