The Revolt of the Peasants (1912)

An historical episode during Holland's struggle for independence from Spain in 1572. To avenge the brutal murder of an aged Hollander, the Revolutionists tie each of the four Spanish soldiers implicated to an arm of a windmill, and the elements complete the task. The lead is played by the most successful actor in Holland, and the scenes, laid in Holland, leave nothing lacking to procure perfection.
