A young couple on a motorbike speed to reach the ferry. But death is out to get them in the form of a truck driver on the road. Will they make the ferry, have an appointment with death, or both? This short movie is meant as a propaganda against fast driving. In 1948 there where no speed limits in Denmark (and only few motor vehicles) but it began to be a problem.
