This is an elaborately-staged drama, showing the reveries of a convict as he looks hack upon the incidents of his imprisonment. It shows him as a happy peasant, toiling in the fields, waiting for the close of day to meet the beautiful girl whom he loves passionately. Then a rich man comes upon the scene and takes the girl away as his wife to a life of luxury. In a weird scene, in the darkness of night, the peasant, with his countenance distorted by hate and a consuming desire for vengeance, stealthily makes his way to the rich man's home and destroys them.
