<p>Sultan Mustapumpum still needs more soldiers to send his army to massacre the Christians, whom he wants to turn into tongue and ear salad for his meal. On the orders of Marshal Morackel, the recruiter of the Sultan's army tries to recruit the Jews Schmuel and Zwirn, who immediately flee; then he recruits Kasperl. But Kasperl knocks Morackel out with the rifle he gave him for the exercise. The marshal catches him in the act and wants to have him hanged. Kasperl does it so badly that Morackel puts the rope around his neck himself to show him how. Kasperl hangs him and then kills the Sultan by hitting him with the gallows.</p>

Kasperl, a recruit in Turkey

<p>Guignol wants to talk to the colonel about something personal. The corporal shares Guignol’s query. Meanwhile, Guignol must empty the small tub which is used as a chamber pot for the entire section. This is precisely why Guignol wishes to speak with the corporal: he does not want to be given this chore anymore. The sergeant arrives and wants to know what Guignol demands, but the latter does not answer. The sergeant is annoyed and hands him the notebook in which chores are recorded, so that Guignol can give it to the corporal Bozon. The corporal tells Guignol that the colonel is here. The colonel invites Guignol to speak. Guignol explains his small tub problem. The colonel asks the sergeant why Guignol is always given this chore. The sergeant explains that there is a “guignol” (a clown/buffoon) in every section and that the “guignol” is responsible for this chore. The colonel punishes Guignol for his pointless complaint. Guignol can only cry out: “Saint Baquet (Saint Small Tub)! Pray for me!”.</p>
