Plot

As described in a film magazine,[3] a hunchback is employed as an organist at an Episcopal church and at other times works as a school teacher. In the latter work he is associated with a young woman, with whom he is very infatuated. A London man of sporting tendencies quickly wins over the woman with his polished manners and ardent courtship and he marries her. After the wedding the husband goes back to the ways of his bachelorhood, frequenting the public places and spending his time in one prolonged debauch. The bride tends a store from which they derive their livelihood. The husband mistreats and abuses her. In the end, circumstances straighten themselves out with her marrying the hunchback, whose love never faltered.

Cast
gollark: Buy old bitcoin mining GPU rigs!
gollark: It's not really possible to actually get decent (several thousand) amounts of money without having been on SC1 and/or getting into real estate early.
gollark: Also, it was sold.
gollark: You do not have 10000KST.
gollark: <@97888022359470080> Basically, it's lots of krist because people who got in early and/or were on the last switchcraft are ridiculously rich, partly due to ridiculous block values built into the krist system.
