Plot

Based upon a review in a film magazine,[2] Geoffrey Challoner (Chase) finds his bride of a few days Robin (Minter) burning some letters, and he becomes insanely jealous. A few days later, Norman Craig (Garwood) blunders into the Challoner apartment and Robin fires a gun, thinking him to be a burglar. Norman faints from fright and Robin flees, thinking that she killed him. Geoffrey finds Norman in his wife's rooms and decides upon divorce. Before the case goes to trial, Geoffrey makes the same mistake and blunders into Mrs. Craigs's (Shelby) room. A real burglar shows up to complicate the situation. In the end, it turns out that the letters Robin had been burning were from her husband Geoffrey.

gollark: You know what, I'll ignore this ENTIRELY for now muahahahaha.

gollark: This is in a 130 line function which *kind of* explains what it's doing, but apiaristically.

gollark: It *seemed* like it was just inserting things, but it may also be moving everything after this into the children of the other thingy?

gollark: ```nim var emNode = newDoublyLinkedNode(emToken) for childNode in token.children.nodes: if childNode.value == opener.value.token: emToken.children.head = childNode.next if childNode.next != nil: childNode.next.prev = nil childNode.next = emNode emNode.prev = childNode if childNode.value == closer.value.token: emToken.children.tail = childNode.prev if childNode.prev != nil: childNode.prev.next = nil childNode.prev = emNode emNode.next = childNode```

gollark: This would really be easier if they had actually bothered to put comments in this. I've worked out that it is in fact *not* a `seq.insert` call precisely, but I don't know what it's meant to be doing.
