Sword of Xanten

A fantasy-adventure story based on Nordic myths of the Ring of the Nibelungs. The story follows the son of a simple swordsmith, Siegfried (Benno Furmann) who repeatedly saves his country, not knowing that he is heir to a throne. He becomes popular with the Burgunds by slaying their bane, the dragon Fafnir but when the reward seems to be a huge treasure, Siegfried ignores the curse that lies on the hoard - which now seems to endanger his love to beautiful Norse warrior queen Brunhild (Kristanna Loken).
