action
The story takes us to the time immediately after the end of the First World War, to the newly drawn, hotly contested German-Polish border. Here Polish irregulars fight with their German opponents. Again and again the Poles invade the German-inhabited areas, which are vehemently defended by the long-established residents, but which, according to the peace treaty, are to be given to Poland. The estate of the young widow Luise von Willkühnen is occupied by the unscrupulous Freischarenführer Ladislaus von Zeremski, his lover Nadja and her militants. The Polish government commissioner, who once sought Luise, but was rejected by her at the time and punished with the whip, gets into this situation.
He is said to have confiscated their land on behalf of his government. Zeremski's intention to not only seize the property, but also to take possession of its current owner, is thwarted by Heino, her 18-year-old son, who is on guard in front of Luise's bedchamber. A brief fight ensues in which Zeremski is ultimately killed. The government commissioner witnessed this dramatic event. Luise has to realize that this man still loves her and is ready to do anything for her. Ultimately, the Pole helps mother and son to escape from the Poles harassing them across the border to the safe kingdom. Luise no longer wants to do without this man and persuades the Pole to stay with her forever.

criticism
In Paimann's film lists you can read: “The subject is - apart from a steel helmet gloire at the end - completely apolitical. It could also be presented in a timeless and placeless manner and, after a long exposure and a certain breadth, is at the beginning quite gripping and effective for the public, especially in the last acts, the direction carefully, mainly in detail, the presentation consistently first-class, Alberti (the government commissioner ), Chekhova (the militant's friend) and Jenny Hasselqvist (the landlady) offer excellent services. The presentation and photography are also clean. "
