Farinet ou l'or dans la montagne

Farinet ou L’Or dans la Montagne is set in the Swiss mountains and deals with a young man accused of forging money. While the police remain unable to arrest Farinet for lack of proof, the Mayor attempts to negotiate with him on friendlier terms, since he is attracted to the Mayor’s daughter Thérèse. Joséphine, a girl in love with Farinet, in a fit of jealousy, reveals his hide-out to the police and after a dramatic chase over the rocks Farinet is wounded and dies shortly afterwards. —classicsonline.com
