"Damn it, baby. Your stupid but handsome husband thinks you'll just sit quietly in your room while he spends your money again. Show him what you're worth..."

The young and handsome but careless and debauched knight Douglas, mired in debt and poverty, saves his situation with a marriage of convenience. He marries the modest and quiet daughter of a wealthy merchant, seeing her only as a "bag of gold." Having received a generous dowry, he returns with relief to his former life of hedonism, spending his nights in drunkenness and pleasure with his mistress-servants, Sophia and Martha, completely ignoring his lawful wife. His castle is a symbol of decay, and his soul is empty.
