Plot

The main characters in the story are Slegga, Reven, and Nelly. Slegga (Sledgehammer) is big and strong, kind, and maybe a little stupid. Reven (the Fox) is a completely different type. He is smart and a driven petty criminal. Nelly is also on the wrong side of the law, but her heart is in the right place. The trio go in and out of prison, but they find each other when they are all at large. The film's three sequences portray the jailbirds' activities and circle of friends in Oslo's underworld.^[4]
