A wide shot shows a crowd gathered in a dusty Western town square for a public hanging, with three men in shirts and trousers standing on a platform, their hands bound behind their backs, as a noose is placed around the neck of the man in the center. The scene cuts between close-ups of the three condemned men, showing the older man with wild hair screaming in terror, the man in the center with a calm, resigned expression, and the older man again, before returning to the wide shot of the crowd and the platform.
