Plot summary
In the Cévennes during the 16th century, the horse dealer Michael Kohlhaas lives happily with his family and has prospered. He is driving his horses to market when he crosses the lands of a local baron. The baron takes two of the animals, even though the right to collect tolls has been abolished. Kohlhaas discovers that his loyal servant has been attacked by the baron's guard dogs and that the seized horses are injured and abused. He sues the baron for money, but his case is thrown out because the baron has a kinsman at court.
