The 16th century Goch is besieged by the Spaniards who use every opportunity to conquer the city. However, Goch and its walls are steadfast and the citizens can withstand the attacks of the Spaniards. Until they use a ruse to overcome the city walls. They offer the drinking and indebted Poorte Jäntje a pact: if he gives them a wax cast of the key, they will reward him richly. Desperate and ostracized, Porte Jäntje accepts the pact, but is prevented from carrying out his act at the last moment and is to be sentenced to death. However, he can evade this judgment with the help of a poison capsule. Poorte Jäntje commits suicide. As a memorial, his head is hung on the Vosstor and later replaced by a lead cast.
