Das Spitzentuch der Königin

About the show

In 1580, Cervantes mocks Count Villalobos in a song and is arrested, but the King releases him because the Queen admires his writing. The Queen sends Cervantes a lace handkerchief confessing her love; Villalobos finds it, and the King sends his wife to a convent. Cervantes and his friends disguise themselves as thieves and bring the Queen back. Disguised as a servant, she serves the King his favorite dish, and Cervantes tells a story that reconciles the couple.
