Title: The Wandering Jew (Set)
Description: A melodrama with a strong message and colorful characters, whose strengths and weaknesses form an integral part of the story, is a work of tremendous television potential, providing high concept drama...a fascinating project as any major property to hit the screen today.  Story-line focuses on Joseph, the cobbler of Jerusalem...who mocked Christ on the day of His Crucifixion...the sinner who is condemned to wander undying throughout all of the centuries, all over the World; and Herodias, the Wandering Jewess, who demanded the head of Saint John the Baptist to be served on a platter, who is also condemned to live through centuries of sorrow.

It is the story of the legacy of an ancestor, who, despoiled by the Jesuits, salvaged out of his ruined estate, a house and a small sum of money, which he placed in the hands of a faithful Jewish friend, who promised to invest it profitably.

One hundred and fifty years later, descendants gather at his house, where each is to receive their share of the inheritance.  The Jesuits, the masters of an intricate and diabolical conspiracy, plot to prevent the heirs from acquiring the money, fearing that their World-wide conspiracy to claim the legacy, now amounting to 212,175,000 francs, and their plan to govern the destiny of Europe, will be exposed.

In the end, the future goes up in smoke, but the long punishment suffered by the Wandering Jew and the Wandering Jewess ends.  Producers looking for an entry of the past with current appeal should see its potential as an exciting teleplay, whose enormous amount of research should pay off with the A. C. Nielsens.
