https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgLGZZeFSq0 The Movie: The Wicker Man tells the story of Sergeant Neil Howie (Edward Woodward), a devoutly Christian police officer called out to the remote Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. Once there, he discovers the islands€™ residents are Pagan worshipers, under the watchful eye of Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee). The Ending: Howie is in due course lead to believe that his missing schoolgirl is about to be offered up as a virgin sacrifice on May Day, when the residents of Summerisle participate in a pagan ritual to bring on a fresh harvest. Little does he know, unfortunately, that he's the sacrifice - the girl was just bait. By the time Howie wakes up and smells the burning wicker, it's far too late - the island's citizens encircle the massive Wicker Man in which Howie is trapped as it burns him alive. His killers hold hands and chant happy-go-lucky folk songs. And, no, Woodward doesn't mention anything about the bees. That dishonor went to Nicolas Cage, 33 years later.
