| Description: | Shaky - light and blurry in contrast and imagery Bearing placards accusing the billionaire of sinister crimes, several hundred communists invade Broadway for a mobilized attack on the auto-manufacturer's show room. Boisterously belligerent, the protestors are welcomed by a reception committee of blue-coats armed with convincing night sticks. The first assault proves too much for the minions of the law, and reinforcements from nearby precincts arrive, to rout the reds in all directions. | |
