Il tamburino sardo (1911) Online
A company of soldiers are attacked by an overwhelming number of the enemy and are forced to defend themselves as best they may in a stone house. They gallantly repulse the attack for a long while, but their numbers become gradually weakened and they can hardly hold out much longer. Suddenly a drummer boy volunteers to go for aid. He is let down from a window by means of a rope and is soon on his way. Although wounded and greatly fatigued by his perilous journey, he struggles into camp. A detachment immediately sets out and relieves the imperiled company. After the battle the drummer boy is greatly rewarded for his bravery.
Released in the US as a split reel along with the comedy Tontolini victorieux (1911).
