One of them, a dangerous maniac, who has strangled his own wife, is standing before them. He watches a young woman of the party, and unnoticed, follows her when she leaves the room. The visitors are now in the superintendent's office. A keeper comes in to tell him that the maniac in question has disappeared. The young woman remains alone with her husband. Suddenly turning round, she sees the maniac looking through the window, and faints. Her husband leaves the room to call for help. When she regains consciousness, the maniac is about to seize her. Almost crazed with fear she rushes out, followed by the maniac. She reaches a pavilion and is able to lock herself in. The maniac tries to break the door down. Unable to do so, he goes round the pavilion, enters through an open window and noiselessly springs on the helpless young woman. Happily the superintendent, with a few keepers, arrive in time to save the young woman, Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
