What happens

From the Shadows è un cortometraggio muto del 1913 diretto da Charles Giblyn. In un periodo di siccità, un gruppo di indiani assale dei coloni per ottenere del cibo. I militari, benché avvisati del pericolo da uno scout, non hanno preso le misure necessarie per la difesa dell'insediamento che viene distrutto. Dopo una battaglia furibonda, i militari fanno fuggire gli indiani e i soldati trovano come unico sopravvissuto all'attacco un bambino. Portato al forte, il neonato farà rinsavire la moglie del comandante, che stava scivolando verso la pazzia dopo la morte del proprio bambino. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
