Scene in a bullring in Madrid. Injured matador is lying on the ground and being gored by a large black bull standing over him. Another man holding a "flag" stands at head of the bull and is attempting to lure the animal away from the injured matador. In the background at left are three people--one at left attempting to climb fence while the one at right is already over the fence and appears to be trying to reach the injured matador. Only the head of the middle person is visible.
