Einar, a lonely fisherman, is stricken with the dreaded pestilence and finds himself in the crowded and filthy Gimli Hospital. Here he meets Gunnar, a friendly, bespectacled, rather rotund gentleman. The two men quickly become friends. Einar, however, turns jealous over the portly, jovial Gunnar’s ability to woo the beautiful Gimli Hospital nurses. When they reveal their darkest secrets to each other, the two men become bitter enemies.
