action

The earth withers in an extremely hot summer . People and animals suffer from the heat and even the field spring dries up. The fireman rejoices in the easily flammable land, while the rain clad who brings the rain seems to be asleep. Meadow farmer and moor farmer also enjoy the drought that delivers hay and fills their coffers. The sinister peat farmer wants to marry the meadow farmer's daughter, Maren, but she loves poor Andrees.

Although the meadow farmer does not believe in the rain , he promises Andrees the hand of his daughter if he can bring rain within 48 hours . Only a certain saying can wake the Regentrude, which is finally reconstructed with the help of the shepherd and Andrees' mother Stine. Andrees and Maren go to the Regentrude together, outsmart the fireman and the moor farmers who stand in their way, and finally arrive in the realm of the Regentrude, which they wake up with their saying.

A short time later it starts to rain and the field spring now also has water again. The people and the cattle are saved and Andrees is allowed to marry Maren.
