The Mask of the Skunk

In 1840 California, a viscount hosts a banquet in honor of his son return from Italy, where he had been studying the art of fencing. However, his son proves to be a coward when he refuses to engage in a duel. While on the run, the man comes across a witch and rescues her. The grateful witch gifts him with an ointment that would render him invincible for an hour and with this newfound power, the once-cowardly man takes the opportunity to use it and save his father from the cruel tyranny of an evil man.
