S3.E19 ∙ Lemur Legs

Bob Van Buren's rescue of an upper-class Turkish girl and her duenna in Constantinople when they are waylaid by robbers paves the way for a romance between them. The romance progresses rapidly despite the hullabaloo raised by Demetra's father and by the Turk fiancé he is trying to force upon her; but the very thought of a girl, so highly educated, so gifted with needle and loom, so famously graceful as a dancer ending up in a harem instead of a respectable home, drives Bob Van Buren to desperation. At length he persuades Demetra to elope with him to America, where Demetra could be married at his mother's in New York. Getting wind of it, the malicious Osman hires a band of ruffians who make away with Bob Van Buren on the very eve of departure. With her young American mysteriously vanished, and the day of her now-all-the-more-odious wedding to Osman drawing near, Demetra can stand it no longer, and taking her duenna, flees to a cousin's in New York on the P. and O. boat on which Bob had reserved sailings. Osman pursues the little refugee, corners her in New York, and with oriental cunning sets a trap into which Demetra walks blindly. Having her in his toils again Osman summons a second Turkish priest and is just forcing Demetra to her knees before him when the door bursts open and in rushes Bob Van Buren, who had finally escaped the dungeon in Constantinople to which he had been consigned. He routes Osman and takes Demetra to his mother's. Mrs. Van Buren suggested that the lovers wait until September, but their hearts were set on June. And so, as you may very well imagine, June it was.

Based on the short story by Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811), this TV mini-series tells of a horse trader who is cheated out of a couple of black horses by crooked Junker Wenzel von Tronka (a small landlord) on the way to Dresden. When Kohlhaas puts his trust in the justice system and sues the Junker to return his horses, a relative of the Junker in Dresden uses his political influence to have the case thrown out. As a last attempt Kohlhaas' wife tries to convince the crooked Junker to pay retribution, but instead she is seriously injured and dies. The short story takes place in the time of Martin Luther, a time of serious social unrest among the country folks. So Kohlhaas has no great difficulties to incite some disgruntled locals to join him in a revenge attack on the Junker's castle. However, Tronka himself escapes. Excited by their success more farm hands join the search for Tronka's whereabouts, during which they commit several violent acts against innocent citizens. At last, the Kurfuerst (Elector) of Saxony sends troops to arrest Kohlhaas and his men, but they are defeated repeatedly. After a visit to Luther, Kohlhaas realizes that the acts of his group have gone out of proportion compared to the original injustice, many uninvolved people have lost property and even their lives. Though Luther condemns Kohlhaas' movement, he promises to intervene at the court of Saxony in his favor, and Kohlhaas agrees to appear in person if his men are given amnesty and he stays a free man until his case is tried. Even though Kohlhaas' case finds sympathies at the emperor's court, Tronka's friends in Dresden use some misunderstanding to subvert the amnesty agreement and have Kohlhaas arrested. The court finally sentences Tronka to make good Kohlhaas' damages, but on the other hand find Kohlhaas guilty of breaking the peace of the land and sentence him to death.
