The characters in the movie who take Chaucer's clothes when he cannot pay his gambling debts are **not** blacksmiths. Kate (Laura Fraser) is a blacksmith, and other blacksmiths who are dismissive of her are portrayed as well. Rather, the two characters you are referring to are [Simon the Summoner and Peter the Pardoner][1], who *are* recounted in the [Summoner’s Tale][2] and the [Pardoner’s Tale][3].
