Jüri Rumm is an Estonian feature-length film made in 1929 based on Hans Varessoo's 1908 novel of the same name.
[2] The film depicts the legendary adventures of the Estonian itinerant, thief, and robber Rummu Jüri, who became famous among people in Estonia in the 1880s.
The story begins with the corporal punishment meted out to the manor's valet Jüri, which the proud and independent young man does not forgive the gentlemen for.
The honor of his beloved Madli is also at stake at the manor, and in order to save her Jüri must risk imprisonment.
Like an Estonian Robin Hood, Jüri takes revenge for the injustice done to the peasantry.
