The blacksmith Kale loves the beautiful Aranka, but his mother does not wish their love, because Aranka is a witch. During the evening festival, when young people jump over the fire, Aranka gets lost. At that time, Master John is driving through the countryside and gets lost, finds a fireplace and Aranka appears to him in a lit candle. Enchanted, he brings her home, where Aranka comes to life again. Meanwhile, her lover searches in vain for the girl. Will the two meet again?
