Ein alter Müller verspricht jenem Gesellen seine Mühle, der ihm das schönste Pferd von der Wanderschaft mitbringt. Während die beiden Älteren durch ihre Faulheit nur zwei alte Gäule erhalten, begegnet der fleißige Hans auf seinem Weg einem seltsamen Kätzchen, in dessen Dienste er tritt. Als Dank hat das Kätzchen eine ganz besondere Belohnung für ihn...
There once was a poor miller, who had no children but three boys to work for him. The two older and larger ones were lazy, mean, and stupid. The youngest was hard-working, friendly, and cheerful. When the miller decides that he is too old to work anymore, he tells each of the boys to go out into the world and find a beautiful horse. He who brings back the most beautiful horse will inherit the mill and must care for the miller in his old age. When the two older boys leave the youngest behind, he meets a magic cat, who says she will give him a beautiful horse, as long as he can complete three tasks: first, he has to chop wood with a silver axe; then he must cut down all the grass in the field by the end of the day; finally, he must chop down trees and build the cat a home. He returns to the mill to wait for his reward, and not only does Hans receive the horse, but some even better surprises, as well! —DEFA Film Library
