Young blacksmith Siegfried, not knowing that he is heir to a conquered kingdom, becomes popular with the Burgunds by slaying their bane, the dragon Fafnir. 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 for beautiful Norse warrior queen Brunhild.
