A man who is tied to a tree in this play is told of the failed heroism of his son Juan, by a woman who delivers a monologue that notes it is "all dark--the very moon lost from heaven." This play was, until the nineteenth century, performed under the title The Best Garroting Ever Done. Rebolledo's scheme to profit from a gambling operation is permitted only because he helps facilitate a rape in this play, of a woman who later takes pity on Lope de Figueroa's wounded leg.
