Description:
On a garden lawn are 4 people enacting a murder by death scene. One man lies on his back on the ground - actually on a blanket and pillow on the ground beside a flowering shrub. Over him stands a man in shirtsleeves with a cigarette between his lips holding a glass bottle threateningly over him. With his other hand he has hold of a woman's wrist who is on the ground next to the "corpse" trying to escape the clutches of a 4th man who is holding her back with one hand around her neck and the other on her arm. He is kneeling and smiling at the camera. The woman is Ruth Miller.
