When the trio of traitors--Cambridge, Scroop, and Grey--are sentenced to death, instead of being borne away to their doom they act out in pantomime (to the accompaniment of claves) their impalement on wooden poles by three guards, turning on their knees to the audience with hands upstretched and then collapsing to the ground.

He rises and, in a stunning melodramatic sequence, directs his men to fire on an American ship in order to force it to land medical supplies on the disease-ridden island (romanticism). He recovers, is freed, and returns home to his family...
