The Hand of Fate (1913)

Jim Rathburn, foreman of the quarry gang, and bully, refuses his dog food. The poor animal begs pleadingly for something to eat. Not satisfied with starving the dog, Ruthburn ties a stick of dynamite to his tail, and sets the fuse on fire. The bully takes to his heels, and the gang follows as the dog pursues them. The crowd enter the dynamite shed and the dog crawls under the door. Frantic, the men rush outside, lock the door behind them, unknowingly leave Rathburn to his fate. The dog crawls out from under the door, leaving behind the lighted dynamite fuse. A moment later the shed and its contents are blown into atoms.
