The film was released on the occasion of King Frederik IX's 50th birthday, March 11, 1949. It follows the most important events from both King Frederik and Queen Ingrid's childhood and up to the present. There are footage from the wedding in Stockholm, the couple's trip to the United States, the royal house during the occupation, state visits, the king's daily work, but also family life and private interests.
The Kaiser was an unpopular guest in Denmark. Both for personal and political reasons, the Danish court did not want to have too close ties to the German Kaiser. But the Kaiser had a habit of inviting himself.
The shift of the crown was paralleled by a new epoch of cinema in Denmark. Peter Elfelt had been the dominant figure in early Danish film. After some rather insignificant films, Ole Olsen founded the success of Nordisk Films Kompagni upon this film and 'The Funeral of King Christian IX'.

On 4 September Frederick Albert Cook (1865-1940) arrived in Copenhagen on the ship 'Hans Egede'. He received a hero's welcome as the first man to set foot on the North Pole.
