Fate brings together the outlaw Jan and his German brother-in-law Jurgen (Jarek Hylebrant) who has just returned from the eastern front line. Both men are looking for exactly the same woman and that is Agnes. But Agnes escaped; she is running away through the deep woods followed by the most powerful man of the county.
