In this scene, we witness an arresting display of military power and espionage. The image showcases Chinese coolies apprehending Japanese spies amidst the backdrop of Manchuria's vast landscapes. Dressed in their distinctive army uniforms, armed with weapons, and accompanied by naval forces at sea, these spies were caught red-handed while attempting to gather intelligence for their homeland. Woodville's attention to detail is remarkable; he masterfully captures the tension and uncertainty surrounding this historical event.
