He proves a troublesome slave, and Leif's sailing master, Egil the Black (<a href="/wiki/Harry_Woods_(actor)" title="Harry Woods (actor)">Harry Woods</a>), prepares to kill him for his insolence, but Helga stops him. When Alwin challenges Egil to a sword fight, Leif is impressed by his courage and permits it. Alwin manages to break Egil's sword, but spares him. Helga then gives Alwin to Leif. </p><p>Leif, with the support of King Olaf (<a href="/wiki/Roy_Stewart_(silent_film_actor)" title="Roy Stewart (silent film actor)">Roy Stewart</a>), the first Christian king of Norway, sets out to search for lands beyond <a href="/wiki/Greenland" title="Greenland">Greenland</a>, which was discovered by his pagan father, <a href="/wiki/Eric_the_Red" class="mw-redirect" title="Eric the Red">Eric the Red</a> (<a href="/wiki/Anders_Randolf" title="Anders Randolf">Anders Randolf</a>). Back in Greenland, Eric kills one of his men after he discovers that the man is a Christian. When Leif stops there to pick up supplies, Eric gives his blessing for his marriage to Helga (unbeknownst to her). However, after it is revealed that Leif is himself a Christian, Eric disowns him and refuses to give him any supplies. Fighting breaks out after Leif instructs Alwin to take the supplies anyway. In the confusion, Helga stows away on Leif's ship. </p><p>Leif has no choice but to take her along. During the voyage, she and Alwin confess their love for each other. Unaware of this, Leif informs her that he will marry her on the "second change of the moon". Egil, in love with Helga himself, foments a mutiny among the crew, who fear <a href="/wiki/Myth_of_the_flat_Earth" title="Myth of the flat Earth">sailing off the edge of the world</a>. When Egil prepares to stab Leif in the back during the wedding ceremony, Alwin leaps in the way and is wounded. Leif kills Egil, but is enraged when Helga reveals that she loves Alwin. He raises his sword to kill the unconscious Alwin, but his Christian faith stops him. Just then, land is sighted, and the mutiny dissolves. </p><p>Leif steps ashore bearing a makeshift cross. He has a stone tower built and makes friends with the natives. When Leif leaves for home, Alwin, Helga and a few others remain behind.
