The curate, the barber, and Samson Carrasco decided to overcome Don Quixote according to his own code. In the guise of a knight, Samson would vanquish the Don and order him to return to his own village for a period of two years, departing from town only with the victor's permission. Engaging Thomas Cecial as a squire, Samson followed along the road taken by Don Quixote and Sancho.
Now that the fight is over, Thomas Cecial insists on going home, while the bruised and vengeful Samson insists on continuing his quest until he has the satisfaction of vanquishing Don Quixote.
