The Twin Sister, Nursemaid and Valets must climb a steep cliff
with the Archers and Spearmen giving chase.
The Sand-Cliff tilts to an angle; a projection suggests that it is now
an icy slope. The Girl and her entourage arrive at the foot of the mountain
and cautiously proceed to climb the dangerously slippery slope. Suddenly,
the group is ambushed by Archers who fire arrows into the icy cliff and
proceed to pursue our heroes. The Ice slope begins to rotate while the
Archers continue to embed arrows into its face. The characters use the
arrows as holding points for acrobatic manoeuvres as they slip and slide
about the face of the rapidly rotating deck. During the course of the thrilling
sequence the Nursemaid slides off the edge of the deck into the abyss, the three
valets are captured by the Archers and the Girl is rescued by a couple of fur-clad
Mountain men. The pursuing Archers all eventually slide off the wildly spinning
deck and drop into the void. At the end of the scene the deck tilts to full vertical
becoming a “cliff” and the final Archer drops to his death in the void.
