Miss Bellboy

Directed by Franz Hofer.

Two young men serving at the front. One comes from a good family, the other's family is poor. But the sister of the middle-class son falls in love with his poor comrade when he returns home for Christmas.

A spirited young countess defies social conventions by climbing trees and dancing with peasant children. During a countryside outing, she meets a charming stranger-unaware he's a prince-and later encounters him again at court.

A company of soldiers is visiting a small village. The mayor (?) locks away his daughter because she is very adventurous...

This film tells the story of Wendhorst, a man who is constantly striving to do his duty for his country. He protects Germany’s secrets but when his wife lets them slip, he abandons her and decides to continue to protect his country but this time on the battlefield. He is depicted as a hero battling enemy troops, but also demonstrates kindness and benevolence when he listens to the story of two prisoners. His benevolence is rewarded, as the prisoners turn out to be his wife and his son, whom he has never met. His newfound son decides to join him in battle but is killed fighting, and at the end of the film only Wendhorst comes home to his wife. Wendhorst and his son depict ideal German soldiers whose belief in the glory and good of their country never falters, even to the very end.

Two agents from different sides are working in a circus, one - the Schwarze Natter (Black Adder)- as a dancer, the other as a horseback artist. The Schwarze Natter is informed that the other is receiving information by one of the visitors this night, who is also in love her. She is trying to get him and the information herself, making it look like the other side has her finger in this incident. But an officer of the local police had an eye on them, because some things happening before made him suspicious and starts playing his little game.

Two sisters get a letter from their third sister just after coming from the third sister's funeral. It informs them that a nobleman has ruined her life and is responsible for her death...

The short film features a classic femme fatale archetype (played by Maria Forescu alongside co-star Paul Meffert) who dramatically drives forward the emotional and dramatic tension. The narrative mood shifts rather abruptly into an energetic chase sequence set around a local fair or carnival environment, utilizing contemporary dynamic props (such as an electrically operated cable car) to heighten the suspense.
