A horse trader is swindled out of some of his best stock by a baron while trying to cross a river. After he finds the horses have been mistreated and his loyal servant beaten by the baron's men, he files a complaint with the court through his lawyer. The baron's influence gets it rejected and his wife is beaten to death. The horse trader assembles a group of locals to get justice as well as revenge on the baron. Based on a German legend, the story is marred by unnecessary explicit sex scenes and graphic violence. Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen is aloof as the lead character.
