Der Bärenhäuter

Money in unlimited amounts, if he doesn't wash himself for seven years, doesn't cut his hair and nails, and doesn't sleep in any bed. Christoffel agrees. But he soon realizes that the money is of no use to him, because people avoid the dirty, stinking fellow. He finds a place to stay in prison, sets a goldsmith in debt free and wins the heart of his daughter Katarina. But luck is not on his side.
