Emberek a havason

A timber exploitation contractor persuades the Székely woodcutter, Erdei Csutak Gergő, to move in the village his family, offering them work that pays well. At their new place, the contractor rushes at Gergő's wife, Anna. Frightened, she tries to escape, but falls in an abyss. In vain do they try to cure her, Anna dies. Having no money to have her carried home. Gergő takes her body on the train as alive. He kills the contractor in revenge and is therefore put in prison. At Christmas, he escapes to give his son a present, but a gendarme's bullet hits him. His fellow-woodcutters pretend to have captured the run-away prisoner who is now dead. They use the blood-money to buy his orphaned little boy, Gergő, clothes and a pair of boots. (Verleiher-Text)
