The Pipe of St HubertSynopsis
Hunter Kurt must go to war. He leaves his delightful wife Elsa at home, together with his already seasoned porcelain pipe. The war goes on for a long time and it is no wonder that Elsa falls for the charms of an Italian captive, Marcello. In addition to her double bed, she offers the man her husband's pipe. Kurt's unexpected return interrupts the idyll. Marcello jumps out of the window, but what is Elsa to do with the still smoking pipe? She puts it in the mouth of the wooden figurine of St Hubert and then claims to her husband that the saint smokes. At night, she is awoken by bad conscience. She glances at the figurine and is terrified to find that Hubert is indeed puffing away at the pipe.
