The Wandering Scholar

About the show

In a 13th-century French farmhouse, Alison plans a secret meal with Father Philippe while her husband Louis is away. A hungry wandering scholar, Pierre, arrives; Philippe drives him off, but Pierre returns with Louis. Pierre’s story exposes the hidden food and the priest’s presence. Louis drives Philippe away, feeds Pierre, and sends Alison to the attic, following her with his cudgel.
