Prague, 16th century. A Jewish rabbi read from the stars that his nation was in danger. He therefore decided to create a giant man out of clay, whom he called the Golem, and use magic to bring him to life to protect the Jews from this danger. In the beginning, the Golem is his master's devoted servant, who carries out the tasks assigned to him without fail. One day, when the Golem saves the life of the Emperor himself, who, as an expression of gratitude, revokes the decree to remove the Jews from the city, the Rabbi decides to turn the Golem back into mere clay, since his task here is already accomplished. Moreover, there is a certain threat that, if the planets are improperly placed, the Golem may rebel against his master. However, before the Rabbi can destroy the Golem, it is brought back to life by the Rabbi's assistant of dubious character, who wants to use it to eliminate his rival in love. And just at that moment, the planets of that evil constellation run out and the Golem begins to wreak havoc...
The film was made as a prequel to the 1915 film DER GOLEM.
