The Forshyttan steel-mill has been owned by the Ancker family for generations. But competition is hard. When the son Bengt Ancker comes back from abroad he has an idea for success: a lighter steel with better quality. But a lot of money is necessary to develop his idea and the only way to raise the necessary capital is to sell the company to their competitor - Manchester Steel Company. But the workers are concerned that this could threaten their job-security
