Plot

Marie (played by Alexandra Neldel) and her husband Michel Adler (played by Bert Tischendorf) have a happy life until Michel has to go to war against the Hussites for König Sigismund but does not come back. Marie does not believe that he is dead and starts her journey to find out what really happened to him.

It is sometimes displayed - on recording and when digitally streamed - as The Revenge of the Siren in English-translated versions (and similarly for its predecessor, The Royal Siren, and successor, The Legacy of the Siren, in the series.)
