Charles's brother Francis, a sly, jealous man, hates him. As a consequence of a drunken brawl, Charles is expelled from the University at Leipsic. He then writes an appealing letter, to his father and retires to Weingart in Bohemia to await the count's forgiveness. Francis intercepts his brother's letter and replaces it with another of his own composition to which he forges Charles's signature. The Count makes Francis his sole heir. To the penitent Charles in Bohemia, the news of his father's decision comes. Careless of consequences, he readily assents to the plan of his companions to form a band of robbers with himself as captain. Francis, with the aid of Herman, an enemy of his brother's, make the old Count believe that Charles has been killed in battle, and he falls apparently lifeless at the terrible news. But, as he is being interred, Francis discovers that his father is not dead. However, he does not falter. He forces his horrified father into the vault and furnishes him with barely enough food to keep him alive. Meanwhile, Charles visits his father's castle in disguise, and discovers the full extent of his brother's treachery. Summoning his band, he storms the castle, liberates his father, and shuts Francis up in the dungeon. Amelia, who has fought against the daily importunities of the wicked brother, now fully realizing Charles' true character, flies to him. He stretches out his arms to her, but the bandits interpose their swords between the lovers. Charles has consecrated his life to them and cannot have Amelia. The desperate girl prays them to kill her as life is no longer of any value. Charles gives himself up to the authorities, arranging in his last moments of freedom that the reward for his capture shall he paid to a worthy peasant.
