Elizabeth Welch, being chauffeured through the Pyrenees Mountains in order to be on time for her wedding in Madrid, is taken prisoner by bandits who demand a ransom of $100,000. Elizabeth recognizes the bandit leader as one of Spain's great bullfighters who, she says to his face, must have become a bandit because of his fear of the bulls. An accusation like this, she knows, could mean a bullet in her pretty head.
