Abstract: Napoleon disguised as "Count Vicenza" sits in a sled that is pulled by a horse, running at full speed, with a large devil on its back. Another smaller devil sits at the Count's feet while another large devil leans over the seat of sled. In the distance is a battlefield. The speech bubble above the Count reads: "My gaurdian [i.e. guardian] angel so you do but protect me d-n the army." The devil on the horse's back replies: "Don't be alarmed Boney. I'll escort to Paris but can't save your army."
