The cine additionally played on accepted biased stereotypes of Jews accepting absorbed noses and actuality materialistic, immoral, cunning, capricious and physically unattractive. With the barring of Oppenheimer—who shaved off his beard, cut his hair and wore "Christian" attire for best of the story—the actors playing macho Jewish characters were fabricated up to attending unappealing and conflicting (non-German) to German audiences. The best archetype of this is Marian's co-star Werner Krauss who played the two added above Jewish characters, Rabbi Loew and Sekretar Levy. There was additionally a arena that declared to appearance Jewish religious services.

Jewish account were "recruited" (coerced into performing) in Prague (the basic of the German active Bohemia-Moravia) and the scenes assuming the access of the Jews into Württemberg and admiration in a abbey were filmed there.

"Does not the emperor in Vienna accept his banking advisers, whom he allows to aggregate taxes, community duties, and arch tolls?"

The citizens of Württemberg complain, but the small rebellions that breach actuality and there adjoin the steadily growing taxes and awkward methods of the Jew's admiral are atrociously suppressed. The artisan Hans Bogner is hanged because, apprenticed to agony by the Jew and his lackeys, he answers force with force. The battle is annoyed with his Jew. Süss transforms Württemberg into a acreage "flowing with milk and honey."

He finds fresh means to accounts the duke's big-ticket tastes, and Süss himself gets affluent too. Karl Alexander rewards the Jew for his matchmaking casework with fresh privileges and with a letter giving him amnesty from the law. The ban on Jews is lifted. Hundreds of Jews move to Württemberg and Süss makes abiding that they can all get rich.

Röder, the duke's war comrade, attempts in arrogant to accomplish himself the agent for the broke farmers and citizens. Karl Alexander brusquely rejects him. The old Rabbi Loew, who knows how to apprehend the stars, vainly warns Süss Oppenheimer: "The Lord punishes Jews who balloon who they are!"

Oppenheimer—surprisingly, accustomed the baneful anti-Semitic affair of the movie—keeps his swear and frees Faber. He again suggests to the Battle that he leave Wurttemberg for a brace of canicule and again appear aback afterwards the "coup" as an complete monarch. Oppenheimer leaves Wurttemberg as well.

However, the bodies of Wurttemberg acceleration up afore the adopted soldiers arrive, the Wurttemberg soldiers debris to blaze on their adolescent citizens, and several of the townspeople go to the adjoining belt to accost the Battle and Oppenheimer. The Battle has a affection advance and dies. Oppenheimer is captured, brought to trial, and approved on a account of accuse that accommodate crime and banking improprieties. However he is accomplished alone because he had sex with a German woman—and it appears from the chat that he would accept been accomplished alike if the act had been absolutely consensual. Oppenheimer is executed, adage to the aftermost that he was annihilation added than a "faithful servant" of the backward Duke. All the added Jews are again accustomed three canicule to leave Wurttemberg.
