Dogtanian and The Three Musketeers have crossed the Pyrenees into Spain, looking forward to their time in the Spanish court. They're enjoying the journey too much to realise there's a stranger behind them with a carrier pigeon. They enter the city on the day of a bullfight, Pip dreams of being a matador. After Pip falls off Sandy and wakes from his daydream they hear a bull has escaped. The bull runs straight at them and they ride out of the way leaving a baby in its path. Athos leaps from his horse, takes the bull by the horns and wrestles it to the ground.
