Synopsis
This engaging comedy is built on the adventures of the playful, lighthearted, lovable German rogue, Tyll Eulenspiegel, who exposed evil through laughter. Tyll eludes his parents and gains admittance to the king's palace by way of the kitchen. He wins the friendship of the cook, confounds the wise men, and charms the king and queen. Skillfully exposing all their pretensions through his pranks, he places the wise men in jeopardy. Fearful of Tyll's rising power, they lay a plot to dispose of him. But the wily Tyll escapes their clutches and lives to twit the king and queen into recognition of their own faults.
