Plot

As described in a film magazine,[4] Tess Haggard (Hawley) plunges Arthur Sinclair (Ferguson) into despair after she marries the sturdy David Haggard (Hearn), a rising engineer. While her husband is away on "location," she visits an illegal gambling house with Arthur and other friends. While there the place is first robbed by crooks and then raided by the police, and she loses her rings, lies to her husband but is detected, writes a silly letter and is blackmailed, and is briefly charged with murder. Her troubles are resolved when a Peteer Vanetti (Warren) confesses to the crime and all of the deceptions by Tess are laid bare and forgiven.

gollark: That seems fine. I assume they have mostly OpenSCAD, with some Rust/Python tooling generating/processing it and random shell/makefile orchestration.

gollark: Good idea! They can operate from any source of potential energy!
