A story told with few words. We see a solitary man and a solitary woman, each alone with their thoughts. She is in the country, staring out a window.

Группа контрабандистов прибывает морем на шлюпке, надеясь незаметно переправить свои товары через городские стены города. Для этой цели они хотели воспользоваться проломом в стене, который охраняет офицер Дарн Хосьери, однако попытка с ним договориться не увенчалась успехом, после чего они вынуждены были переправить тюки с контрабандой в свой лагерь в горах. Их подруга Кармен, узнав про препятствие в виде офицерского поста, обещает, что сумеет им помочь, соблазнив Дарна, громогласно заявляя: «Каждый человек может быть подкуплен чем-нибудь. Поскольку все вы беспомощны, предоставьте мне дона Хосе. Я отдам вам этого неподкупного офицера, связанным по рукам и ногам, — любовью».
