Origin[]
Escamillo arrives at the cantina approaching Carmen and her relationship with Don José, intervening, which Carmen puts José as a hated rival. Escamillo then confronts José, telling him to get away from Carmen, which he confronts him that Carmen is his love interest just before blowing froth from the beer that Carmen gave to him, much to his frustration. Escamillo and Carmen both laugh at José.
Later during a bullfighting match at the Plaza de Toros, Escamillo fights against a bull during a battle where Carmen cheers on her love interest in a seat reserved for her, much to José feeling jealous. Throughout the event, Escamillo interacts with the bull during a comic fight between them, impressing Carmen who holds a bouquet of flowers at him while Don José sprinkles some pepper on the bouquet before Carmen tosses them at Escamillo. This causes the bull to have a sneezing fit, leading to Escamillo's victory in finishing off the bull, impressing Carmen again.

Notes[]
- Escamillo's name is not mentioned in the short and was only revealed in production material.
- Escamillo is a caricature of Walt Disney. This wouldn't be the last time this would happen, as a different matador character was caricatured that way again in Ferdinand the Bull, which came out nine years later.
