Silent newsreel showing Japanese prisoners being taken from prison to the place where they are to be executed. Two men sign papers (execution orders?). Prisoners are driven through crowds to the execution place. Huge crowds line the street as they pass. The two prisoners stand with signs held up behind them . An amazing shot from behind a kneeling prisoner, hands tied behind his back, as the gun is aimed at the back of his head. Just as the shot is fired, someone moves in front of the camera but moves away, revealing the body slumping forward. Police break up crowds.
