The Amber Witch
In 17th-century Pomerania, Mary Schweidler secretly discovers amber and uses its value to help starving villagers. Count Rudiger falls in love with her, as does the local Commandant. After Mary chooses Rudiger, the Commandant and his jealous servant Elsie accuse her of witchcraft. Mary confesses during her trial to spare her father and is condemned to burn. Rudiger escapes imprisonment and rescues her; the King pardons Mary and orders the Commandant to take her place. Elsie dies by poison, and the Commandant is banished.
