This is the second half of Frtiz Lang's silent epic Die Nibelungen. It opens with mythical heroine Kriemhild vowing to avenge the murder of her husband Siegfried.

After Siegfried's dead, Kriemhild is obliged to participate in a "marriage of state" to Burgundian King Etzel, and gives birth to a child. Then she tries to persuade Etzel and the other Huns, that they kill Hagen, the murderer of Siegfried, but he is protected by her brothers. Nevertheless a fierce battle begins to force her brothers to give Hagen to her.

This film gives away a plot that functions mainly as a framework for Fritz Lang to work out one of the major thematic preoccupations of his career: the destructive power of vengeance.

这是Frtiz Lang史诗默片《尼伯龙根》的后半部分。影片的开始，神话女英雄Kriemhild发誓为其丈夫Siegfried报仇。

在Siegfried死后，Kriemhild不得不接受了与勃艮第国王Etzel之间的“国家婚姻”，并生了个孩子。然后她就尝试着说服Etzel和其他匈奴，让他们去杀死杀害Siegfried的凶手Hagen。但Hagen却是被自己的哥哥保护着。然而，一场惨烈的战斗开始迫使哥哥将Hagen交到她手中。

这部电影反映了Fritz Lang在其职业生涯中长期致力的一个重要主题：复仇所带来的毁灭性力量。
