The Anarchist (1913)

An anarchist has a sweetheart who is sought after by another man. The latter meets the girl in a park, where, under the watching eyes of the anarchist, he makes violent love to her. Though she repulses him, the anarchist suspects her loyalty to him and casts her aside. The other man, in revenge, notifies the police of the whereabouts of the girl's lover and his companions. On the road home, after this happening, the unhappy lover, King, meets a little girl, buys her a toy horn and takes her to her doorway; she lives in an apartment directly above, where he has his studio. The police come and are about to break in the door. The anarchist, the girl and his companions decide to die rather than give up. Their leader is about to cast the bomb that would send them into eternity when he hears the horn blown by the little girl. He realizes that another life must be sacrificed if he throws the bomb. All surrender, and the anarchist takes the hand of the girl, assured of her loyalty.
