action
The engineer Andreas Mahler has committed himself to work on a construction site in Mexico for a period of three years. With a heavy heart he says goodbye to his beloved Ebba, the daughter of the Rosenhof farmer. It promises him eternal loyalty. But her father absolutely wants to prevent his daughter from marrying Andreas. According to his will, Ebba is to be married to Hannes, the son of the Frings farmer.
Ebba can't understand why she doesn't get any mail from Mexico at all. Little does she suspect that her father burns all of Andreas' letters. He, in turn, is surprised that Ebba leaves every one of his letters unanswered. Finally, Ebba thinks her boyfriend forgot her. That's why after a while she is ready to give in to Hannes' solicitation and marry him. When this message reaches Andreas' mother, she informs her son in Mexico.
Years later, Andreas returns home. There he took on the order to build a bridge over the Weser not far from the Rosenhof. One day Ebba comes to the construction site with her son. There she runs into her former lover. At another meeting it becomes clear to both of them that the letters from Mexico have been withheld. Thereupon Ebba leaves her husband and little Claus and moves away with Andreas. But there she soon longs for her son back. She visits him and explains why she cannot stay with him. The boy runs after his mother to the train station, is hit by a car and taken to a clinic. Ebba slowly realizes that her place is not at Andreas' side, but with her husband and their child.
