Synopsis: A member of the French nobility during the Terror betrays his fellow's confidence in order to curry favor with the revolutionary government. The servant of his latest duped victim demonstrates to him in the market how chickens can live with their heads cut off for quite some time and suggests that perhaps the same may be true of humans. He laughs this off as the servant merely attempting to frighten him, but later that evening, the servant does indeed guide the headless body of his former master to acquire vengeance.
