In Lauterbrunnen, Clothilde, a serene mountain peasant daughter, vows to choose a brave hunter Conrad but a white stranger arrives at the village fete.

Taxation and costly permits for repairs are described, along with gate fees for goods and baggage checks at city entrances and on suburban trains.
