Description:

This film dramatizes Victor Hugo's tale Les Misérables. The following describes the contents of the first reel: Jean Valjean is shown with his sister in their poor home. Jean looks in the cupboard and finds no food to give his sick sister. She is seated in a rocking chair. He goes out to look for a job but his first try is in vain. The village blacksmith refuses to employ him. He tries to poach, with no luck. Driven by depair at the thought of his sister dying of hunger, he steals a loaf of bread from an open window. He is spotted by the owner, who chases him. Others join in the chase. Jean keeps running but the mob is catching up. Jean enters his house and hands the loaf of bread to his sister, who takes a bite. The angry crowd rushes into the house and Jean is overpowered. His sister tries to help him but it is too much for her, and she dies. Jean tries to get near her, but the crowd stops him.
