The inn in the Spessart

Another fairy tale by Wilhelm Hauff. Countess Franziska von und zu Sandau is traveling by carriage with her unloved fiancé and her maid, when they fall into the hands of robbers in the dark Spessart forest. The notorious inn in Spessart becomes the focal point for the subsequent ransom demand and a tangled web in which the handymen Felix and Peter attempt to save the noble lady. When Franziska learns at home that her father is more inclined to send military troops than to pay the ransom for disguised Felix, her maid, and the pastor, she defiantly returns to the robbers to serve the bandit leader in her disguise as a boy. He soon recognizes the ruse, but he is as smitten with Franziska as she is with him.
