 A man knocks at the door, steps in and declares that he is Åke, the eldest son of Albert. Albert hasn t seen him since he was a baby, and Herbert has never heard about any elder brother. Albert is happy and makes Åke a partner of the family firm. It turns out that Åke is work-shy and in great need of money. Herbert thinks he is just a parasite and leaves the family firm to start a scrap business of his own.
