Dolores loves Tom, the Americano. But she also flirts with Pedro, one of the attendants to the old monk. Tom objects. He and Dolores quarrel and he leaves her. She sees Pedro slip through a gate with a knife in his hand and follows him. As she comes to the gate Pedro is not in sight and the old monk is apparently dead on a nearby bench for blood stains lie upon the tiled floor. Dolores flees to Tom and asks him to kill Pedro for his monstrous deed. Tom soon discovers that Pedro has only killed a chicken and the quarrel is made up.
