Together with Sharpe, Harper and the Rifle Company they set off on a simple mission to blow up a bridge. Unfortunately, a French cavalry troupe is spotted, and, much to Sharpe's confusion, Simmerson tries to catch it with foot soldiers... Sharpe's Confusion soon turns into disbelieve and then to dismay as he sees the cavalry troupe route a regiment ten times their number. Adding insult to
