La muerte cansada (1921)
Dos jóvenes enamorados viajan en diligencia y, de repente, se une a los viajeros un misterioso desconocido. El vehículo se detiene en una posada, y el desconocido desaparece con el joven. La muchacha busca desesperadamente a su novio y, cuando descubre que es la Muerte quien se lo ha llevado, le implora que se lo devuelva. La Muerte le muestra tres velas (vidas) a punto de extinguirse y le explica que sólo podrá recuperarlo si logra salvar alguna de ellas.
