Description |
This is an amateur film, presumably produced by Preston Cine Club, John Dempsey was their founder member. We see a short sequence of events. We see men going up some stairs in a building, looking furtive. One of the men enters the room where a man at a desk gives him something hidden in a box of matches. The other man spies on them through the keyhole. After one of the men has left the room, the man spying on them enters and ties up the other man. He injects him with syringe and appears to leave him alive, but in a noose attached to the ceiling. We then see two cleaners in the building, who debate entering the room but leave without doing so. So we are left in suspense as to the fate of the man tied up in the office. |
