Various locations of events.
In Maine, United States of America, we see various shots of people in canoes riding the rapids of the appropriately named Rapid River. There are two men in two boats - in the first boat is what seems to be a Canadian Mountie. The second canoe comes over the rapids and both men fall out - one clings to a rock while the other is swept along, trying to swim for his life. He reaches the side.
In Mexico we see various shots of musicians playing music to a bull in a bullring. A crowd watches from the stand as they taunt the creature. The bull picks one of the men up on his horns, then rushes at a man with a camera (?) on a tripod. Then two people in a bull costume run alongside the bull and lock horns with it. A comic bullfighter dressed as a woman taunts the bull and swishes 'her' skirts about in front of it. When he crouches down and attempts to outstare the bull it charges and knocks him over - good!

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.
