Synopsis
In the mountains
Dusk, Don Quichotte believes they are getting close to the bandits. Sancho goes to sleep while Don Quichotte stands guard. The bandits suddenly appear and after a brief fight take the knight prisoner. Sancho escapes. Surprised by the defiance of the old man, the bandits give him a beating and intend to kill him, however Don Quichotte's prayer moves Ténébrun, the bandit chief, to mercy. Don Quichotte explains his mission, and the necklace is returned to him. The bandits ask for the blessing of the noble knight before he leaves.
