The Count wants to hand the Master Thief for being a criminal but decides instead to challenge him by making him perform three difficult tasks. The First is to steal The Count's horse from the stable, then steal The Countess' wedding ring as well as the bed sheet she and The Count are sleeping on and finally the third task was to steal the Parson and the Clerk from the church. If the Master Thief fails then he is to be hanged. The Master Thief agrees and goes and does the first task. For the first task, he disguises himself as an old woman and leaves a basket of wine for the guards, who all get drunk and pass out from it, allowing him to steal the horse. For the second task, the Thief grabs a corpse from the gallows, predicting that The Count would be prepared for him, which The Count was, having locked all the doors and windows except for one which The Count keeps guard with a gun. The Master Thief pretends he's at the window, using the corpse as a ploy which The Count shoots, thinking he's killed his godson, as a result, he then lets his guard down by going outside and burying the corpse allowing the Master Thief to steal the wedding ring and bed cover by pretending to be The Count, speaking from the window. The Master Thief meets with The Count, mocking him for his gullibility. For the final task, The Master Thief takes a sake and a lantern into the village churchyard, alongside some hermit crabs and wax candles. The Master Thief uses the candles to make it seem like the apocalypse was happening, he claims that those worthy can go to heaven if they go into his sack, claiming that he himself is "Peter, the gatekeeper of Heaven".
