Leap From the Main Bridge Ends in Riches and Love
A midnight encounter by the Main Bridge in Frankfurt drives a penniless clerk Karl to offer a plan to a dying man, who is persuaded to swap lives with a wealthy stranger. Bertha, the daughter, assists by pawning a sacred book to cover debts. The tale ends with Karl revealing true wealth lies in love and virtue as Bertha becomes his wife in a grand residence.
