==Plot== The young Norwegian fisherman's daughter Ingeborg Lien, who lives in a remote fishing village, dreams of success and the big city. She gets there and wins a beauty pageant. Ingeborg is attended to by two men, who have no other purpose than to enjoy her as a young and charming mistress for a while. When Ingeborg realizes this, she turns to a newly acquired female friend. During a police raid in a sinister gambling den, she manages to escape and is rescued by the taxi driver and engineering student Gustav Lind. He takes care of Ingeborg without asking for anything in return. Gustav also gets her a place as a nanny with his boss, but one day the police find her there. He buys a train ticket for Ingeborg so that she can travel back to the fishing village. She does not return home, but instead tries to drown herself. Ingeborg is saved in the end. She now understands what luxury and external appearances are worth, and she confidently looks forward to a different life together with Gustav.<ref>{{cite web |title=Frestelse (1940) |url=https://www.svenskfilmdatabas.se/sv/Item/?type=film&itemid=3906#plot-summary |website=Svensk Filmdatabas |access-date=August 29, 2022}}</ref>
