Scene summary from the 1903 Edison Catalogue:
Showing a bar room. Marks enters with a friend and sits at a table. St. Clare, who has been drinking heavily since the death of Eva, enters, followed by Uncle Tom, who entreats him not to drink any more. St. Clare orders a drink. Simon Legree, the owner of a large plantation up Snake River, enters and invites all hands to have a drink. Marks and his friend quickly join him at the bar. Legree asks St. Clare to join him, but he says he does not drink with strangers. Legree becomes furious and joins Marks at the bar. After drinking, he offers a drink to Uncle Tom, who refuses it. This increases Legree's anger and he throws the contents of the glass in Uncle Tom's face. St. Clare jumps at and quickly knocks him down. Legree arises drawing a large knife from his belt and plunges it into St. Clare's heart. In the meantime, Marks and friend make a hasty exit, and Tom kneels beside St. Clare, and offers up a prayer.
