Rabbi Ozer cautions his congregation about taking gifts from The Gentleman from Cracow, suspecting something amiss. He issues an edict to prevent young women of Frampol from being paraded like prostitutes at a feast demanded by the doctor from Cracow. This doctor reveals himself as Satan at the height of the debauchery. Once Satan has been driven out and some order restored to the town, Rabbi Ozer is memorialized by a statue in the holy plaza.
