Die Jagd

About the show

Farmer Michel will not let his daughter Röschen marry Töffel until the disappearance of his son Christel’s fiancée, Hännchen, is explained. Hännchen returns and says Count Schmetterling kidnapped her. A storm forces the king’s hunting party to shelter at Michel’s house. Hännchen recognizes the king’s huntsman as the count, and the king reveals his identity, banishes the count, and rewards Michel and his family.
