A csikós (1913)

A man from Hortobágy falls in love with Mariská, the daughter of István Lencsés Nagy. He asks for her hand in marriage, but the girl's father curtly throws the poor young man out of his house. The lad meets Solomon the horseman, and they enter the inn. They drink together, and the old man tries to comfort the distraught young man. The wine drinking is soon accompanied by cheerful music, because the gypsy also appears. During the fun, Solomon falls asleep, and the gypsy eats his stuffed bagel. As soon as he wakes up, he immediately notices that it has been stolen, and he suspects the man that is just leaving. The indignant lad chases him on his horse and soon bites the real culprit on the neck. Solomon gets his money back, and the gypsy left on the hook seeks revenge. The man escapes the attentions of his parents in the turmoil of the Debrecen fair. They visit the bachelor's parents' house, but the old parents do not want to take in the "runaway" daughter-in-law, and Mariska is sent back to her parents. Meanwhile, the Lencsés are chasing the man with gendarmes, and with the help of the gypsy they manage to catch him. The sad young man doesn't even defend himself, and the gendarmes take him, tied up, to Marika's parents. However, it then turns out that Solomon has offered the man a whole fortune as a sign of his gratitude, and so the Lencsés are already happy to give their daughter to the steadfast suitor.
