The Miserly Knight

About the show

The young knight Albert, burdened by debt, asks a moneylender for a loan. The moneylender proposes that Albert poison his father, the wealthy Baron, and Albert rejects the suggestion. The Baron gloats over his accumulated gold but fears his son will squander it. At the Duke’s court, the Baron accuses Albert of wanting to steal from him; Albert appears and calls his father a liar. The Baron challenges him to a duel, then collapses and dies, asking for the keys to his treasure chests.
