When waterman Jonas and the miller’s daughter Carolina take a fancy to each other, things are far from easy for both of them. Jonas’s grumpy father Husterbuch warns his son’s against dating a village girl, and Caroline has no idea that her beloved Jonas is not of the human race. Then there’s the miller’s assistant Libor, who is doing everything to protect the whole village and particularly Caroline from the “soppy scoundrel”. What does it matter that to do so he resorts to lies and intrigues? The main thing is to make Caroline jilt Jonas and bestow her affection on himself. Soon it is clear to everybody who is responsible for the disappearance of the local night watchman, the flour gone bad, the fire of the mill and other trickery. The villagers decide to organize a hunt of the water sprite. Caroline betrays Jonas and the old water sprite puts a hex on her, turning her into a frog. Now it’s up to Caroline to soften up Husterbuch, prove Libor a liar, find Jonas and break the spell ...
