The brothers Aimo and Vermondo stride through the thick underbrush, where they encounter a number of wild boars. The dogs leap toward their prey with their mouths open and teeth bared. At this moment, the combat between the brothers and the boars is a stalemate: although blood pours out of the sides of the boars where they have been pierced by swords, blood also issues from the men's legs where the boars have inflicted grievous wounds.
