In a north German village prior to the outbreak of World War I, strange events, accidents, and deaths are occurring.

After the school teacher starts to unravel the mystery, he discovers that the children of the town may be guilty of the crimes and have formed a secret society that the local pastor's daughter appears to be the leader of. Includes featurette.
