Bjurra is an abandoned fishing village in Lofoten. One summer the place is visited by thirteen children from a boarding school, along with the caretaker Pedersen (Kolstad) and his wife (Andersen). When Mrs. Pedersen one day breaks her leg and needs to be hospitalized, the children themselves take over the care of the island. They make a newspaper, put up a play and establish a sports clubs.
