The current master of the house, elderly baron Magnus, has been living for a long time in an unregistered relationship with his housekeeper Lisette, with whom he also has a son, Sebastian. After the baron falls gravely ill Lisette starts getting worried about losing everything, so with Sebastian on her side she demands the baron to write a letter to the pastor and ask him to come over to perform a wedding ceremony.

Wiki.
Old Baron of Rautakylä (Finnish: Rautakylän vanha paroni, Swedish: Gamla baron på Rautakylä) is a Finnish silent horror film made in 1923, written and directed by Carl Fager and produced by Erkki Karu. The film is based on the novella Gamla baron på Rautakylä and the play Efter femtio år, both written by Zachris Topelius. The film premiered on April 1, 1923 at the Kino-Palatsi cinema in Helsinki, Finland.
Old Baron of Rautakylä is the very first Finnish horror film ever made. It was filmed at Suomi-Filmi's Vironkatu studio in Helsinki and at the Herttoniemi Manor in the Herttoniemi district. The film footage of the film has survived, but the intertitles and original screenplay have lost.
