Franz, a Tyrolean mountain farmer's son and passionate poacher, loves the beautiful Sanna. A hunter, who is also interested in her, catches Franz poaching, shoots him and leaves him alone. On the way back to the valley, he falls into a crevasse and dies. When Franz returns home seriously injured by the shot, he is mistaken for the murderer of the missing hunter and is put on trial. Although he is acquitted for lack of evidence, the village community cannot prove his innocence. Everyone turns away from Franz, only Sanna sticks by him. They live in seclusion with their two children on a farmstead. Only when the children get lost in the mountains at Christmas time years later can the supposed murder case be solved.
