Snaga the Orc Charges

Snaga charges Sam in the topmost chamber but falls through the trap-door to his death (Side 1, 34:48).

"With a cry Sam leapt across the floor, Sting in hand. The orc wheeled round, but
before it could make a move Sam slashed its whip-hand from its arm. Howling with
pain and fear but desperate the orc charged head-down at him. Sam's next blow
went wide, and thrown off his balance he fell backwards, clutching at the orc as
it stumbled over him. Before he could scramble up he heard a cry and a thud. The
orc in its wild haste had tripped on the ladder-head and fallen through the open
trap-door. Sam gave no more thought to it. He ran to the figure huddled on the
floor. It was Frodo."
