Trama

Paracelsus's unorthodox healing methods are opposed by the established doctors and rich trader Pfefferkorn. But when Paracelsus helps harness the plague and heals Pfefferkorn's daughter, the townspeople learn to value his merits.

Paracelsus is the story of the Renaissance era Swiss physician/alchemist/astrologer Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim.
