A poor man comes along and the girl invites him to join them. Leaving the man asleep, they go to work. Awaking, the man sees a barrel of wine and drinks deeply. The young woman returns and is attacked by the fiend. Seizing a piece of wood, she strikes him on the head. He falls as if dead. Believing that she has killed him, she races to her father. He also believes the man dead. At night they hide the body in the woods. Back home, their fancy shows them terrible things. The door opens, the ghost of the man appears to them, walks towards them, takes a seat. Father and daughter draw back frightened. They dare not speak or touch the ghost. Night is over. The man is still there. The woodcutter then goes near the man and touches him. It is not a ghost, but the very man they thought dead. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
