- Summary:
- Max must win a shooting competition to win the hand of his beloved Agathe and the position of head forest ranger. The duplicitous Caspar, a marksman who has sold his soul to the devil, procures for Max seven magic bullets, six of which cannot fail to hit their mark while the seventh will go whenever the devil chooses. Max is winning the competition with the magic bullets. When he is asked to shoot a white dove with the seventh bullet, Agathe falls in a faint. The bullet miraculously kills not Agathe but Caspar. Max must spend a year doing penance before he is allowed to marry.
