An Awful Moment

Aha! I've figured it out! The version of this out there on the internet shows the scenes in the order they were shot rather than in proper sequence (they submitted paper prints that way sometimes, since they were just to establish copyright.) It took a while to catch on since this is one of *those* Griffith shorts that don't make much sense anyway (broad acting of the "point with a dagger while clutching your bosom" variety, convoluted and nonsensical peril--as promised, it's pretty awful).
