Karl is bothered by the fact that he's spending the easter holidays at home, instead of going skiing and getting a tan. He gets very jealous when he learns that Nils has managed to borrow a cabin up in the mountains, and threatens to throw him out of the house if he gets a better tan than himself. This way, Karl is permitted to borrow the cabin from Nils, unaware that Elna is planning to visit Nils in the hut.
