The title of this German musical translates to The Forester's Daughter. The title character is Christi, played by Hanneri Matz. Christi impulsively falls in love with a handsome stranger (Karl Schoenboeck), never suspecting that her boyfriend is really Austrian emperor Franz Joseph. Upon ascertaining the emperor's true identity, Christi pleads with him to save her former boyfriend, rebel leader Joseph Foeldessy (Will Quadfleg), from the firing squad. Die Foersterchristi is based upon the stage operetta of the same name by the Buchbinder Brothers.
