Quixote notes that Panza has failed to whip himself to bring about the end of the enchantment placed on Dulcinea. He decides to whip Panza himself to accelerate the process. A fight breaks out between master and squire; Panza knocks Quixote to the ground and forces him to promise to stop the whipping. A group of bandits appears and steals everything from Quixote and Panza. However, their charismatic leader, Roque Guinart, insists he is an honorable man. He has heard of the famous Quixote, so he makes his men return everything that was stolen from the knight and his squire. After Guinart investigates the tragic story of a woman, Quixote marvels at the bandit leader’s eloquent style. Quixote and Panza witness Guinart being generous to another group of people as well as killing one of his own men for a dissenting remark. By the end of their encounter, Guinart writes a letter to his friend in Barcelona, telling the friend about Quixote’s arrival.
Guinart escorts Quixote and Panza to Barcelona where they are greeted by Guinart’s friend, Don Antonio Moreno. After Quixote and Panza fall from their horses, the people of Barcelona laugh at them. Moreno welcomes Quixote to the city and invites the knight and the squire to his home.
