Synopsis

Warning: screenonline full synopses contain 'spoilers' which give away key plot points. Don't read on if you don't want to know the ending!

A motor car containing four passengers drives towards the camera. It stops suddenly and explodes, the wreckage and passengers being blown into the air. A policeman rushes to the spot and searches in the sky with a telescope; the bodies start falling to the ground. The policeman collects all the parts together and enters the results in his note book.
