action
The fourth and currently last movie adaptation of the popular Ganghofer story: Count Ettingen spends a dissolute life in Munich, far from his rural estates, at the side of his equally attractive and demanding and exalted friend Baroness Prankha. In order to finance his expensive lifestyle, his steward must commit overexploitation of the count's forest. In order to gain distance from the Munich nightlife and his exhausting and greedy lover, who also cheats on him with another man, he travels incognito back to his native forests and retreats to the hunting lodge high in the mountains.
There he met the pretty dairymaid Lore, who gave him a new perspective on life in general and his deeds here in the count's forest - the unrestrained cutting down of the trees - in particular: Ettingen's clearing of forests threatened to slide entire mountain slopes. Soon the count and the mountain girl come closer to each other. But the unscrupulous baroness doesn't dream of letting her "big fish" Ettingen off the hook ...
