Scene 2 of Act III of this play begins with two girls working on some red wool before a beggarwoman informs them of the central tragedy. That tragedy is set in motion after two figures are discovered missing during the plans to start a "round dance." The resultant planned chase ends Act II, which is followed by a scene in which three woodcutters discuss the preceding events among themselves before being interrupted by the play's ostensible villains, Death and the Moon. Death and the Moon discuss their plan to incite an violent act, which happens off stage and results in the death of two men, Leonardo and another man who had planned to partake in the title event. FTP, name this work considered the first of the so-called "rural trilogy" in which it is followed by Yerma, a tragedy by Federico Garcia Lorca.
