Synopsis

James Martin plans to elope with Carol Wall, the daughter of the wealthy chairman of Wall Chemicals. While in Southampton with her, Martin is wrongly accused of murdering a man and is forced to flee to South Africa. Carol meanwhile marries a wealthy City of London financier. Martin rebuilds his life in South Africa and finishes developing a valuable new chemical formula which he had begun in England. After he is partially disfigured by an explosion in his laboratory, Martin decides to return home to clear his name, confident that he will no longer be recognised. However, Carol's husband quickly begins to suspect that the visiting South African is really Martin and alerts Scotland Yard.

Cast
gollark: Is the approach of "stick magic function names in as methods" used by any other standard library or language feature?
gollark: * no dedicated support needed
gollark: What I'd really like is the ability to just go around defining operators arbitrarily like in Haskell, making the operator overloading basically just a consequence of traits with no dedicated support.
gollark: Well, they are generally Rust's standard method for overloading things/implementing shared behavior, so it's more sensible than magically named methods.
gollark: Operator overloading: traits are more verbose, but make *a lot more sense* and are more consistent.
