Fight of the Tertia

Fight of the Tertia tells the story of a group of German schoolboys who confront a local catskin dealer intent on exterminating the local feline population. The boys, though tough, display sensitivity as they organize a boycott against this unscrupulous man, who has the support of the law and government. They face numerous challenges, including the dealer's deceitful tactics, as they work to protect the cats.

The film is based on a popular children's novel by Wilhelm Speyer, which adds a layer of literary significance to the narrative. With a cast featuring Brigitte Rau, Wolfgang Jansen, and Rolf Weih, the film captures the spirit of youthful determination against injustice. Its themes of friendship and bravery resonate well beyond its 1950s context, making it a noteworthy piece for collectors interested in classic German cinema.
