On his way Jacob promises the king's exploited subjects to ask the devil how they can escape their misery. Once he arrives in hell, he takes advantage of the she-devil's absence by disguising himself in her clothes. He then snatches the three golden hairs from the devil, finds out the solution for the farmers and returns home a hero. |
