The Black Wall (1912)

The story of the "Black Wall" takes us among miners, as we follow the daughter of one of them on her way with his father's lunch, escorted by a little son of another miner. They enter a great tunnel, and have almost reached their father when an explosion occurs. The black wall is thrown down like a curtain, separating the workers and the two children from all possible means of exit. Expert miners dig until they reach the wall, through which they force an air-tube to give the imprisoned miners air and through which they force water. The little boy first crawls through it and then returns for the little girl, after which the miners are brought through.
