A Battle To The Death (1911)

Introductory intertitle reads: “For the first time, on any stage or screen, a duel of two of the famous fighting fish of Siam - to the death!“ A little fun map appears with two fish in boxing gloves and an arrow pointing to “Scene of the Battle“. Various underwater shots of two fish fighting. Intertitle reads: “Relentless as fate - unto the end.“ One of the fish sinks to the bottom of the tank - dead presumably.
