Synopsis of Der Gruene Kaiser

Der Grüne Kaiser (The Green Emperor) was based on the novel of the same name by Paul Mundorf. Gustav Diesel stars as Miller Mylius, a prominent banker who concocts a clever scheme to rid himself of his romantic rival Kasten (Rene Deligen). Disappearing completely from view, Mylius is assumed to be dead, and it is further assumed that he has been murdered by Kasten, who is arrested and sent to prison. After many years, Mylius is happily married to his sweetheart Joana (Carola Hoehn), who assumes that his return from the dead was a miracle rather than a carefully-laid scheme. Mylius' chickens come home to roost when Kasten is released and exacts a most satisfying revenge. Like the Mundorf novel, Der Grüne Kaiser was inspired by the recent mysterious death of the Belgian financier Lowenstein. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
