Kísértet Lublón

A ghost is haunting Lubló: Kaszparek Mihály, trader of wines, does not refrain from haunting his native town even in broad daylight. He rides his horse sitting backwards, pays with false gold and pays frequent visits to his widowed wife, who is far from being appalled by the caresses of her dead husband. The unremarkable yet ingenious police inspector, Strang Jakab, discloses the complicated affair. The beautiful Mrs. Kaszparek poisoned her husband in order to live happily and in carefree wealth with his half-brother, the gold-forging Csernyiczky Mihály. Strang, citing Spinoza every so often, discovers the connection between the false gold and the "ghost". He has the beautiful widow taken to a cloister, and the gold-forger falls into his trap.
