M/S of a woman standing on a street corner. She wears a big coat and cloche hat. A woman passes then the man seen earlier. She speaks to him. C/U of the woman's hands as she takes a piece of cotton wool from a box she has in her pocket. "Do the job well." She rolls the cotton into a point then dabs it into the gentleman's eye.

Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
