One of the members of a suicide club learns he has inherited some money, but only after he drew the fatal lot and is expected to kill himself.
In this 4 minute short film, the 34 year old D.W. Griffith reworks Robert Louis Stevenson's novel by presenting a polemic against diversity. There was nothing to justify interest in the characters, but the Iris-in (vignette) was noticeable.
