Two reporters of TV-Glad, Daniel Henriksen and Majbritt Holm, accompany the composer Per Nørgård on a train journey from Copenhagen to Aalborg, where his fairy tale cantata "Will o'-the-Wisps in Town" is going to be performed. On the journey, Per Nørgård talks about his work on the cantata, which is based on the fairy tale "The Will-o'-the Wisps Are in Town, Said the Marsh Witch", written by Andersen in 1865.
