Intrigue and love affairs at the court of the Saxon King Augustus the Strong, who can bend a horseshoe with his bare hands and is fighting with the Swedish King Charles XII for control of Poland. When Charles marches against Russia with his troops and suffers defeat, the way is clear for Augustus, who gains the crown of Poland. But he is already old and ill. When he dies in Warsaw, his heart is brought to Dresden by Saxon horsemen.
Directed by Stanisław Wasylewski, Paul Wegener
