Ania and Lorca dream of going to Warsaw, but her uncle does not agree. In return, he gives her precious pearls and allows her to go on a trip to the forest, accompanied by a forester. This is where Ania meets Andrzej. They fall in love at first sight. The forester explains to the prince that he will not give Kosciesz to anyone, because he would also have to give away the property he manages. Lorek also loves Andrzej, but the prince only wants Ania. He wants to marry her. Kosciesza piles up more and more obstacles and in the end it turns out that he loves Ania with an insane love. In dramatic circumstances, Ania runs away to Andrzej, who has just decided to kidnap her. Kosciesza unexpectedly agrees to their engagement. At dawn, a hunt takes place, during which the prince is however secretly shot dead by Koscieszy's servant. The uncle is now brutally harassing a lonely and broken girl. Ania wants to jump out of the window and then the police show up to arrest Kosciesza for her part in the murder. Written by G See less
