# Nydelige nelliker

Nydelige nelliker (The Misfits) is a Norwegian comedy film from 1964, directed by Knut Andersen.

Knut Andersen and Knut Bohwim edited the shooting script.

## Plot

Lerka and his two sidekicks Slegga and Proffen have been convicted of cheating people out of money and housing fraud. When they are released from prison after six months, they realize that it is not easy to get work after "graduating" from the Oslo Penitentiary. Society does its part to undermine the good intentions of the "misfits," including Dråpan, who has stopped drinking and has been given a painting job by Colonel Ruud and his wife. His thirst—and a thoughtlessly poured glass of liqueur—are enough to drive him off the wagon. Nelly—who is working the Oslo City Hall neighborhood—gets the upper hand over Harald Drangeid. With the help of the money in his well-stocked wallet, Lerka realizes his dream of buying a boat. Lerka's girlfriend Maja is hauled off to jail at the same time as her boyfriend is released.
