The Traitor (1911) watch online HD

A dramatic, but very improbable Sicilian picture. The traitor loved his friend's wife and very craftily got him out of the way. He contrived to bring about a quarrel between his friend and a third man, whom afterward he incited to shoot. When his friend lay dead, he led the police to the hiding place of the murderer. They set the hut on fire. The man escapes and takes refuge with his victim's wife, who had sworn to marry the man who would take vengeance on her husband's murderer. Yet she hides him from the police. The reason for this will hardly be understood by American spectators. The passionate friend now comes with the police, discovers the man hiding behind the bed on which the corpse is laid out. The murderer is led away. The passionate man, being alone with the wife, attempts to kiss her. She repulses him and he is using force when the corpse arises on its bed a well man and chokes the other man insensible. - The Moving Picture World, November 4, 1911
