Plot
Full short
In the Middle Ages, Oswald, a minstrel, rides his horse while singing and playing a concertina. He reaches a stone tower in which Pete is keeping his daughter Ortensia captive. He scales the tower and he kisses Ortensia. Pete appears carrying a spear. Oswald grabs a sword and they fight. Pete breaks through a wall and gets stuck, allowing Oswald to free Ortensia from the large iron ball to which she is chained. Pete gets free and calls nine knights to help him. Oswald rolls the iron ball toward them like a bowling ball and scatters them. Escaping by the door, they discover a hostile lion, so they leap from the tower using her dress as a parachute and kiss each other as they fall off.
