Two friends tell for a beautiful woman. The quarrel that ensues between them is resolved by her husband who tells them that they may each challenge him to a duel. The one who drinks poison poured into one of three glasses is the victor. Instead of poison, however, he places a laxative into the glass and the unlucky victim suffers for his sins.
