What happens

The Sands of Dee is a 1912 American short silent drama film directed by D. W. Griffith and starring Mae Marsh and Robert Harron. It was produced and distributed by the Biograph Company. A paper print is held at the Library of Congress. The film is used in the opening scene of the 1946 psychological horror film The Spiral Staircase in a recreation of early film exhibition. The Spiral Staircase is set in 1906, making the appearance of this 1912 film anachronistic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
