Synopsis

In a small Bavarian town at the beginning of the twentieth century, pretty young Gretl is in love with a border guard despite the disapproval of her father. He resents the young man because he is the son of a woman who once spurned him. Things come to a head at the Schützenfest, after the guard courageously rounds up a gang of smugglers.
