Doktor und Apotheker

About the show

Pharmacist Stößel plans to marry his daughter Leonore to the drunken Captain Sturmwald, but she loves Gotthold, son of Stößel’s professional rival, Doctor Krautmann. Gotthold and surgeon Sichel sneak into the house and arrange to marry Leonore and Rosalie. Disguised as the captain and a notary, they trick Stößel into signing a marriage contract. When the real captain and the doctor arrive, Stößel and Krautmann accuse each other of deception and poisoning. Claudia brokers a reconciliation; the lovers marry, and Sichel becomes an apprentice in Stößel’s laboratory.
