Recovering from his wounds after Salamanca, Sharpe is assigned to guard a commissary officer and a stock of captured French muskets at a small Spanish fort. The post controls an old bridge over the River Tormes, which the French intend to seize in a sudden raid. Sharpe and his limited garrison must organise a defence before the attackers cross the river.
