Synopsis
[edit]Richard Ferner returns to his Tyrolean home village after decades away, having made a fortune from an African mine. He had fled many years before after stealing from his employer, and had abandoned his fiancée Dorothee, now the widow of a forester. He seeks to make amends to her by helping out her two children, preventing the son from engaging in petty theft in the same manner he once did and helping the daughter in her romance with the son of a hotelier.
