Notes: It's execution day at the state prison. Our hero, van Klee is brought to the little room with the menacing chair to face his destiny. Trembling he goes in. A switch is thrown. A man fries in a spectacular silhouet. And van Klee is congratulated by his collegues... the first time is always the hardest for an executioner. - Ger A.
