Plot

A thug accosts a girl as she leaves her workplace but a man rescues her. The thug vows revenge and, with the help of two friends, attacks the girl and her rescuer again as they're going for a walk. This time they succeed in kidnapping the rescuer. He is bound and gagged and taken away in a cart. The girl runs home and gets help from several neighbors. They track the ruffians down to a cabin in the mountains where the gang has trapped their victim and set the cabin on fire. A thug and Rescuer fight on the roof of the house.

Cast
gollark: Proven *how*?
gollark: Really? Hmm.
gollark: No, as in I don't think marriage laws are written to handle it, but it's not actually illegal to be in a polygamous relationship in most places as far as I know.
gollark: I mean, it isn't illegal as much as somewhat frowned upon socially, and not recognized by government (and probably issue-creating wrt. government handling of children because of this?).
gollark: Yes, this can be derived from the axioms for... rings, I think? What of it?
