General Consternation. - The tramps make signs from their hiding place that the girl should start, lure the Mandarin a little closer, ensnare him.
At last she overcomes her reluctance and begins a hesistant dance.
The girl sinks to embrace him; he begins to tremble in feverish excitement.
The tramps leap out, seize the Mandarin and tear him away from the girl. They strip him of his jewelry and his money.
Suddenly the Mandarin's head appears between the pillows and he looks longingly at the girl. The four shudder and stand aghast.
Suddenly he draws himself up and leaps at the girl. The three tramps stop him and hold him fast again.
They drag the resisting Mandarin to the centre of the room and hang him on the lamp hook.
The body of the Mandarin begins to glow with a greenish blue light. His eyes are fixed on the girl.
The Mandarin's longing is now stilled, his wounds begin to bleed, he becomes weaker and dies after a short struggle.
