Der droht Lohnsenkungen an und verweist auf die Konkurrenz durch die neuen mechanischen Webstühle. Moritz Jäger hat durch seinen Militärdienst Einblick in die sozialen und politischen Verhältnisse außerhalb Schlesiens gewonnen und ruft die Arbeiter zum Widerstand auf. Ihm droht Verhaftung, die die Weber verhindern können. Sie stürmen die Fabrikantenvilla, Dreißiger flieht. Die Weber der Nachbardörfer solidarisieren sich. Gemeinsam zerstören sie die Maschinen und wehren das Militär ab, das gegen die rebellischen Weber eingesetzt wird. The manufacturer Dreissiger has hired the weavers of his Silesian village to loom fabric into finished products for starvation wages. Any protest or complaint by the workers is countered by threats of wage cuts and permanent lay-offs courtesy of the automated looms coming on to the market. Thanks to his military service, Moritz Jager has gained some insight into the social and political conditions outside Silesia and calls on the workers to resist. He is detained with the hopes of neutering a mass uprising by the starving workers. But the villagers besiege Dreissiger's villa and the factory owner flees, along with his minions. The weavers rouse the inhabitants of neighboring villages to come to their aid in solidarity. Together, they destroy the machines which threaten their existence and repulse a company of soldiers sent to crush the rebellion. DVD-R has German intertitles with switchable English subtitles.
