The Last Nabob

Kárpáthy Abellino intends to get his uncle's great heritage. He tries to kill Kárpáthy János in various ways. János, who suffered a stroke, is looked after by his devoted friend, Szentirmay and his wife. Abellino cracks some ugly jokes even at his dying during the meeting of the diet in Pozsony, and he swears that he will win the hand of the rich, beautiful, but ill-famed Mayer Fanny. János, ultimately recovered from his serious illness, offers a part of his great wealth for flourishing the country and the same time, he thwarts Abellino's plans as well: he himself marries the girl, Fanny, who gives birth to a son.
