[Spoilers] From the novel by O.V. Falck-Ytter titled "H?kon H?konson, a Norse Robinson Crusoe", a 13-year-old Norwegian boy (Smian Smestad) is obliged to go sea in 1859 as a cabin boy in order to support his family, who are in humiliating financial straits. Fortunately, he ships with his father's good friend, Jens (Trond Peter Stams? Munch), who introduces him to ship life. Haakon's problems begin when he discovers but does not report a stowaway, a girl, Mary (Louisa Haigh), of about his own age, and then involves Jens in the crime as well. Meanwhile, the ship has become secretly infiltrated ... with pirates, and, as tension around the crime mounts, a storm causes the ship to founder and all aboard are thrown upon their own resources. Haakon awakes alone on the beach of a jungle island of singular beauty, where he finds the recent remains of pirates, including their enormous treasure and proof that an impostor aboard his ship was one of them, the notorious Merrick (Gabriel Byrne). Stranded alone, he experiences elation and melancholy as he explores the island learning its secrets and making it his new home, all the while trying to devise a means of escape. After a number of months, he discovers Jens and Mary, and together they begin to settle into island life as Mary and Haakon quickly become quite devoted to each other. But a cohort of the pirates has survived as well, including Merrick, who, as Haakon has anticipated, returns to recover his treasure. Chases, rescues, and battles ensue across the island, more merry than sinister, until, with the help of his friends, Haakon prevails through cleverness and heroism. In perhaps the most touching moment of the film, he returns home to his parents in Norway immensely wealthy and in a position to put to shame all those who have in the past humiliated his heretofore poverty-stricken family, and introduces them to Mary, who, he says, "will be staying with us for a while".
