AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The death of a miser in a small town stirs up the trooper to demand an inquest. A rollicking young man's flirting with the maid of the miser's daughter, the eminent local doctor's eagerness to avoid an inquest, the drugging of the trooper and the theft of the old man's gold and his corpse reveal greed and vivisection.
