Un vieil homme juif erre dans la campagne ; des spectres du Christ portant la croix apparaissent dans le ciel. Il en a d’abord peur puis essaie de les poursuivre, lui et les gens qui l’entourent. Le diable ensuite apparaît et le frappe avant de s’enfuir. Un Christ ailé enfin apparaît. Suit une deuxième scène où se déroule un orage, symbole de la colère de Dieu.

Des bandits ont mis le feu à une ferme. Leur repaire est assiégé par les gendarmes. Ils s’enfuient, mais l’un d’eux est arrêté et emprisonné. Dans sa cellule, il voit la guillotine dans un cauchemar. On vient lui annoncer que son pourvoi en grâce est rejeté, on l’emmène et nous assistons à l’exécution capitale : sa tête tombe dans le panier et son corps est emporté dans une malle en osier.
