Nap is fat and Bony is thin. Naturally, the fat brother falls the harder. The Count does not approve of his daughter's suitor, so he sends the soul of poor Nap to Elysium. The thin brother is left alone, but the fat one's spirit hovers near to guide and protect him. The Count finds it incumbent upon himself to continue his warfare on the remaining Corsican. He calls for a duel in the woods. Secretly, he instructs one of his soldiers to take a cannon behind the hill and fire at the brother while he is dueling with the Count. Thus does the cruel father mean to dispose a second time of his daughter's true love. The duel begins. It is some duel, for both the Count and the Corsican are fancy fencers. When, at last, the cannon goes off, the ball strikes the ground near the Corsican. Bony hurls it back at the man who shot it with such force that the soldier drops dead. The Count picks up a huge stick. But every time he tries to bring it down upon the head of the thin brother, the soul of the fat one appears, seizes the club and suspends it in mid-air. The bewildered Count cannot account for this trick. At last he gives it up. The thin brother wins the Count's daughter, while the soul of the fat brother, having saved Bony from destruction, ascends on high amidst the strains of hallelujah music.
