AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Madly infatuated with the wife of his friend, 'The Idler,' a young Englishman of wealth and position, is ready to go any length to win her for his own. Through his knowledge of incriminating circumstances involving her husband, he attempts to persuade her to elope with him. At this point the husband intervenes, and a denouement ensues, startling in its dramatic intensity.'
