Manfred Von Richthofen has always known his destiny. His entire life has been consecrated to a profession as an officer in the field. He has realized all the goals set for him and more-he has made a name for himself as The Red Baron, shooting countless enemy planes out of the sky in a vermillion plane. The concept of living for the Fatherland, serving his country and dying an honorable death have been meticulously inculcated in him since his boyhood. He has been set to marry his childhood playmate, Adele Von Wallenberg since 1913, and it is only the war that keeps their wedding from becoming a reality. Aside from the pleasures of the hunt and his love for solitude and the company of his dog and his comrades, he lacks for no other diversion. 
    That is, until he meets a young Viennese girl at a party in a hunting lodge deep in the Black Forest.
    Her name is Lea Schwarz, and she's the total antithesis of everything Manfred thinks a woman should embody-and everything a woman shouldn't be in the 20th century. Contrary to the general opinion of such nonconformists, he is attracted to her free-spirited, headstrong nature, which contradicts his mental image of women being superficially cheerful, demure creatures in just about every way. He is also pleased to discover that she feels more or less the same pulling attraction toward the outwardly aloof, upright, former cavalry officer. 
    But as they say, look a gift horse in the mouth, and you will surely find it is missing teeth.
