Le Secret du glacier

During an ascent of Canigou, a traveler falls into a precipice, his body rolling to the bottom of the abyss on the glistening snow of the glacier. The guide, still carrying the traveler's binoculars, is accused by his companions of having killed him in order to rob him. He takes refuge in the mountains, at the home of an old hermit who welcomes him into his cabin. While searching for pasture, the hermit discovers the traveler's body, whose satchel, still full of money, serves to prove his protégé's innocence. Faced with this evidence, the guides reinstate him in their ranks, and the good man returns to his wife and children.
