Siegfried, son of King Sigmund, hears of the beautiful sister of Gunter, King of Worms, Kriemhild. On his way to Worms, he kills a dragon and finds a treasure, the Hort. He secretly helps Gunther to win Brunhild through the use of a mask that makes him invisible. But during an argument, Kriemhild reveals to Brunhild that Siegfried, not Gunther, had subdued her, and thus compelled her to marry the latter. Now Brunhild wants Siegfried's head. Notes: Based on the Medieval Germanic epic, "The Song of the Nibelungen," or "Das Nibelungenlied.". Director: Fritz Lang. Black&White. Country: Germany. No Subtitles.
