Ein korrupter Deal um 180 Millionen DM Falschgeld, das für 50 Millionen DM den Besitzer wechseln soll, geht schief: Zwei Menschen sterben, das Geld verschwindet, und sowohl die Polizei als auch die Kriminellen bleiben leer aus. Der betrogene Kommissar Liebig und der unter Druck stehende Käufer Connor engagieren unabhängig voneinander denselben Gauner Gorrison für die Suche - doch als weitere Morde passieren, wird die Jagd nach dem Geld zur tödlichen Angelegenheit.

Since the death of villager Weber, his widow lives from weaving. Docile daughter Marie helps her with spinning and all other chores, inseparable from pouch Strupi, while her sister Louise invokes delicate hands to do very little for her upkeep. Exhausted from spinning, Marie pricks herself, looses the spool in a water pit and trying to retrieve it, falls in, but emerges in the fairy land of Mrs. Holle. Having been kind and helpful to every creature and talking objects, she's welcomed and praised for cheerfully helping with seasonal chores, which regulate life on earth. Longing to her family, she asks and gets to be returned, with the spool and her dress turned into gold and gets a hero's welcome. Louise can't stand being utterly ignored, jealously pricks herself and jumps into the pit, but in Hole's land remains as rude and lazy, before being returned through the same magical gate, which rewards to merit: as dark and dirty as her selfish heart, with a wise advice as an only prize.
