The king's son is saved
Tukang Mas yang Jahat
ca. 1935 | Helene Potjewijd
The priest is taken to the king's son who lies lifeless in his bed. His eyes are closed and his arms folded across his chest. The priest approaches the poisoned son and prays for him. Holding a Genta, the priest's bell, in his left hand, he draws his right hand in blessing towards the face of the dead youth. The priest brings the prince back to life and is thereby acquitted. The lying goldsmith, however, is slain.
