Mann der Landstände bei der Sondersitzung
Nessa notória propaganda anti-semita, Suess Oppenheimer, um ambicioso negociante judeu, ascende como o tesoureiro do duque, o qual lhe corrompe com riquezas e promessas sempre grandiosas.
Com a crescente atuação do judeu, cada vez mais descarada e elaborada, o duque acaba quase que estourando uma guerra civil.
Quando o Duque acaba por morrer de um ataque cardíaco, o judeu sofre represália e é sentenciado à morte pela Assembléia dos Anciãos, que o acusa de "manter relações carnais com uma mulher cristã".
The daydreaming tailor Wenzel is fired from his job, because the fancy frock he was supposed to cut for the mayor, he instead made for himself. He is allowed, however, to take the frock, which he appropriated for himself and he puts it on as he leaves the shop. A puppeteer picks him up in his coach and addresses Wenzel as "Count". So is he received in Goldach, where people think he is Count Stroganoff, the ambassador to the Czar of Russia.
