The Oysterman's Gold

• Watchlist

The day's work has been most successful as the boat return heavily laden. Right on the wharf the oysterman sells the entire load. He puts his gold into a bag and starts on his way home. Two helpers watch the transaction and decide to get possession of the oysterman's gold. They follow him and high upon a cliff they attack him. There is a fierce struggle between the oysterman and one of the outlaws. Just when they are in a clinch the other pushes the two down the rocks, where he finds them afterward, lifeless. He takes the fisherman's gold and runs away, but is haunted by the dead man whose warning hand he continuously sees before him. His guilty conscience drives him towards the sea and from a high rock he jumps into a watery grave.
