Soon after Ferdinand's arrival, the world's most famous matador El Primero arrived at the shelter to find the best bull for his next fight.
Every bull but Ferdinand were excited. Every bull had the dream to enter into the ring when every spectator will notice them. Ferdinand did not want to fight.
El Primero was disappointed while watching a game between the bulls. No bull was worthy enough to fight him. Guapo the bull puked in the ring out of excitement. Noticing this Guapo was sent to the butcher's house to be cut down.
Ferdinand decided to escape from the ranch again. He would seek help from Lupe the goat and the 3 hedgehogs.
When they were showing Ferdinand the way out, Ferdinand stopped in a passage. He saw his father's horn in a glass display. Not only his father's horns were hanging, but there were also the horns of every bull that have been on the ranch.
Ferdinand saw the truth! That it is next to impossible for a bull to win in a bullfight. That whoever went with the matador never really returned.
Ferdinand turned back. He decided that he would liberate every bull from the ranch. He would take every bull away with him.
When Ferdinand went back to call them. Valiente the bull resisted him. Valiente insulted Ferdinand by saying that he is too weak to fight, that he is afraid of fighting, therefore he wanted to escape. As always Ferdinand ignored him for once. But Valiente kept on resisting.
Valiente banged his horns against Ferdinand. Accidentally Ferdinand broke Valiente's horn. Valiente's horn popped up in the sky and came down. Everyone got silent as they knew what was going to happen next.
Valiente was sent to the butcher's house. Ferdinand was chosen for the fight with El Primero.
Ferdinand did not give up. He made an escape plan. He was not going to escape alone, he wanted everyone on board, including Valiente!
Ferdinand sneaked out of the ranch and went to the butcher's house to protect Valiente - the enemy. When he got inside the butcher's house, to his surprise along with Valiente he found Guapo there. He was so happy to see that none of his friends got hurt.
Ferdinand managed to escape from the ranch with all his friends. But this was not easy. The administrators of the ranch hunted them down.
While the administrators were chasing them, every bull showed its quality. For example Bones the bull who was thought to be fit for nothing, his body was very thin, managed to get across the traffic without any hassle.
Ferdinand helped all the bulls to get onboarded on a cart. With the help of his horns, he fixed the cart with a running train so that all the bulls can escape from the administrators. But he could not get onto the cart himself.
Administrators caught him and took him back to the ranch.
The next day was the most awaited bullfight in history.
Ferdinand was forced to get inside the ring. During the fight, El Primero tried to annoy him but Ferdinand would not fight back.
Once El Primero poked his sword in Ferdinand's leg. Ferdinand got hurt and the pain was out of control. After that 1 hit to El Primero could be the end of his life. But Ferdinand saw a flower on the ground. He stopped himself from hitting El Primero. He recalled his dream of becoming like a flower.
El Primero put on his sword and got in front of Ferdinand. But Ferdinand would not move.
Spectators shouted 'leave him, 'let him go'. El Primero had to listen to his audience. He bowed down and left the arena.
Later Ferdinand and his friends went to live with Nina. And hence a nonviolent heart won over all the hearts.
