Synopsis
Leguignon suddenly discovers that he has a magical gift for healing people. These powers cause deep resentment amongst the vested interests in his town such as the physician and some inhabitants hoping their wealthy relative will die. They manage to have him incarcerated in prison for two weeks, but when he is released he still faces pressure. To complicate matters his daughter is in love with the doctor's son.
