Anatole at the Nesle Tower

Parisians sleep well, it is midnight” calls the town crier. However at the “Cul Sec” (Bottoms Up) inn, a woman has made a strange request. Margot demands a squire that very evening at the Nesle Tower.

Anatole and his rival Sparadra employ a wealth of inventive wiles to win the heart of the beauty. They mount their destriers and confront each other mercilessly. The graceful skinny chap against the big bald portly fellow. Watching this combat, the chubby damsel slaps her thighs!
