The advantage of a connection with a noble house appeals to the burgomaster and he commands his daughter to marry the rich suitor. The lovers decide to elope, but the girl's father catches her in the act and locks her in her room. Then he and the father of the nobleman-suitor arrange for a speedy wedding. Meanwhile the young nobleman's father meets Christian and taunts him. Christian, in an outburst of temper, loses control of himself and assaults the tormentor. He is captured by soldiers and they take him to the castle. There the old nobleman retaliates by precipitating Christian through a trap door from the council room into the dungeon below. Then he writes a note to the burgomaster, telling him that Christian is a prisoner. The burgomaster shows the note to his daughter and leaves it with her. She studies it and discovers that by a skillful mutilation it can be turned into an order for the prisoner's release. The day of the wedding arrives.
