One-Legged Wedding Day Rivalry in Farredona
The narrator Captain Boomerang tells of a comic instalment in Farredona where his wooden leg is stolen by his rival Jim Slympkins. Sam, the leg bearer, deserts him, and the leg is swapped with his rival's. Amelia, the bride, unknowingly uses the borrowed leg, leading to a chaotic morning. The switch is discovered, the wedding proceeds at 2 pm, and Slympkins is not present.
