Hemma, a wealthy aristocrat, wed Count Wilhelm von Friesach. Wilhelm lives addicted to pleasure, dissolute and self-sufficient and does not conform to any order. Since they will not have children, Hemma promises to change her life when she becomes a mother. She gives birth to two sons. The miners revolt. The sons brutally punish the leaders, whereupon the workers set a trap for them. They are captured and vow to get better, but do not adhere to it. Unjust mistreatment occurs again.
