action
Tobias Buntschuh is a brilliant inventor who also owns a large steel and iron factory. Solitary in nature, his crippling has turned him into an eccentric who has withdrawn completely to his magnificent castle. Despite some rejection, however, he has never become a misanthropist or a hater, on the contrary: Tobias Buntschuh is praised for his social streak and helpfulness. One day things start to develop stormily: several competing companies grouped together in a trust attack his life's work and incite Buntschuh's workforce against him. In addition, after a long time, a woman returns to Tobias' life, the beautiful circus dancer Radiana.
When the young woman seeks protection, it is Tobias who gives her this without any ulterior motive. But again one hope is disappointed. Buntschuh, who falls seriously in love with the young woman, has to let her go in the end, because Radiana has fallen in love with the younger Lukas, and he doesn't seem uninterested either. However, both of them absolutely want to avoid Tobias Buntschuh being rejected and try not to hurt him. But Tobias, who knows that under these circumstances he has no chance with the circus girl, renounces Radiana and lets both of them find their budding happiness.
