Man by the Roadside
A shoemaker and his wife become the parents of a little girl, but they cannot find anyone willing to be the godfather of the newborn. The oppressive landlord also refuses to accept the burden. Only Michael, a young traveler whom the cobbler picks up on the side of the road, agrees to become the girl's godfather. From then on, Michael lives and works with the cobbler's family. When the landowner dies suddenly as a result of a stroke, a rumor spreads that the cobbler poisoned him. But with Michael's help, his innocence is proven.
