action
Berchtesgadener Land 1420: The stubbornness of the monastic bailiff Someier leads to a conflict between the Berchtesgaden monastery and the Ramsauers, while Lampert, son of the bailiff, and Jula Runotter discover their affection for one another. The dispute is sparked by the question of the grazing rights of 17 Runotters cows that graze on the Hängmoos. In the opinion of the stubborn bailiff Someier, only oxen and calves have something to look for on this alpine pasture. When Runotters Sennhütte burned down, her deaf-mute, crippled brother killed and Jula was mistreated, the peasants rebelled. The dispute spreads more and more until it turns into an outright war. In this war, which has arisen because of a nullity, all those involved are left to participate on the side assigned to them by fate. Runotter fights with his daughter Jula, disguised as a man, and the Landsknecht Malimmes against the monastery, on whose side Jula's beloved son of the bailiff stands. In the decisive battle, Runotter can take revenge on the monastic canon Aschacher, but at the same time saves the provost Pinzenauer 's life undetected and dies.
