Fourth of July Fatal Kite Show in San Francisco
In San Francisco on the Fourth a Chinese showman Min Toko plots to kill a rival by a fatal kite device during a fireworks celebration at Benson Blashfield’s estate. The groom aids, the bride helps summon a star, and Min Toko dies by an electric spark as the kite strikes. The bride mourns, the wedding ends, and a chilling consent to death echoes.
