The story

On the French-Spanish frontier, a French patrol led by Colonel Leroux of Napoleon's Imperial Guard overtakes a carriage containing a priest and three nuns. The priest is the confessor of El Mirador, Wellington's top secret agent in Spain; he is tortured into revealing the spy's identity. Then, he and two of the nuns are killed, but the youngest, a novice, escapes.
