They set a trap, tricking King Darius into ruling that anyone caught praying more than once a month must be thrown to the lions. Alas, Daniel, being devout, falls into the trap and King Darius, with much grief, is forced to adhere to the rule. However, Daniel, rewarded for his goodness and strength, is saved at the last by an angel.
