Synopsis
Cornelius (Mark Waschke) rushes from his medical research in progressive Vienna to Bamberg to visit his dying father. There he meets his childhood sweetheart Johanna (Silke Bodenbender). He is fascinated by the clever woman who runs her father's pharmacy - not an innocuous undertaking for a woman. Cornelius dislikes the backward Bamberg. He wants to leave the city. Then Prince-Bishop von Dornheim (Paulus Manker) engages the capable doctor in his services. He and Johanna get caught in a spell of denunciation, arrest and execution.
