Das Käthchen von Heilbronn oder Die Feuerprobe

About the show

Blacksmith Theobald accuses Count von Strahl of bewitching his daughter Käthchen, who follows the count despite their difference in rank. The count frees Kunigunde from a kidnapper and considers marrying her after she claims to match a prophetic dream, while Käthchen's loyalty repeatedly saves him. Kunigunde sends Käthchen into a burning castle, where an angel helps her escape. The count ultimately learns that Käthchen is the emperor's daughter and his prophesied bride.
