A Crime in the Snow (1907)

The scene depicts the interior of an inn. A young traveler arrives and asks the innkeeper a question, who answers in the negative. A second traveler arrives with a bag full of gold which he recklessly places in front of him. After having quenched his thirst, he leaves in an elegant sleigh which awaits him at the door. The innkeeper suddenly returns, takes off his apron, arms himself with a large cutlass and runs to wait for the traveler in the neighboring woods. He kills him and buries the corpse under the snow. Then he quietly returns to the inn where he counts with satisfaction all this gold. But he has a vision: a tribunal where he is accused and condemned. Coming to himself, he suddenly gets up and, in the terror of this vision, falls dead.
