Episode description
The Bishop is holding a music competition between the cities of Linz and Salzburg. To prevent another brilliant success by Amadeus, Devilius gets a strong sleeping potion, which should knock out Amadeus at the appropriate time. Devilius will then appear as the "black violinist" and claim victory for himself. To make matters worse, Amadeus' father, Leopold, is in great need of money and has taken Amadeus' violin to a pawnbroker. Can Amadeus shine without his violin? Will the sleeping potion work? Or will Devilius once again leave the concert hall as the loser?
