action

The young forester Walter wants to catch a dangerous poacher in the Lüneburg Heath. He pursues a man into the house of the landlord Lüdersen and gets to know his daughter Grete. Grete discovers that her father, who used to own the whole area, is the poacher. She asks him to move into town with her.

Walter can't get hold of the poacher. Oberforstrat Schliepemann then has the entire site converted. The traveling merchant woodpecker is arrested as a poacher. Lüdersen had surprised Woodpecker and was fatally wounded by him. He dies while putting Grete's hand in Walter's.

additional

When the film was remake in 1951, the plot was given a catchy update, in that the poaching of the landowner was justified with the eviction from home. Instead of the tragic ending, there was a happy ending .
