What makes the Freischütz, or marksman, into a magical sharpshooter? The fact that he shoots magic bullets. Six out of seven hit their mark, but the seventh belongs to the devil, who guides it wherever he pleases. Max is the head forester's favourite huntsman, the fiancé of his daughter and heir to his title. However, he dreads the trial shoot that is dictated by ancient custom. If he fails, he will win neither the girl nor the position. As the day of the trial approaches, Max finds himself unable to hit anything at all. He grows vulnerable, and accepts the help of his hunting companion, Kaspar, to acquire the magic bullets. Only a miracle saves him from losing everything for which he was prepared to lose his soul.
