- CLIMAX
- The three young men were drinking in the tavern and they notice a coffin go by and they learn that the dead man was someone they used to know. They were told that the man had been stabbed in the heart by a thief called death. The were also told that this thief is likely to live nearby.
- FALLING ACTION
- In their drunkenness, the three decided to look for and kill Death to avenge their friend. As they travelled down, they come across an old man who appears sorrowful because death wouldn't take him. Upon hearing this, the three demanded that the old man lead them to death to which the old man said he's seen death near a tree by a grove.
- RESOLUTION
- Upon arriving, the three young men got distracted by gold coins they found near the tree. They waited until it is dark to sneak it away. The youngest was tasked to go to town to get food and drinks while the other two guard the treasure.
- The two young men conspired to killing the youngest for a greater split of treasure; the youngest also thought of poisoning the other two to have the treasure all to himself, thus poisoning the two bottles of wine he would give to the other two.
- When the youngest arrived, the two young men immediately stabbed him to death. While they rejoiced, they unknowingly drank the poisoned wine. In the end, death has taken them all and none were able to make of the treasure they found. The pardoner ends his tale by saying that men's goal of setting out to destroy death is tantamount to blasphemy as the three young men presumed to equate their own power with that of God.
