A cabbie assists a young man to escape his pursuers, letting him hide behind a hedge at one stage and taking him finally to London railway station. The pursuers who he believed to be bailiffs are detectives, and his young fare a murderer. The fugitive is killed by a train in another attempt to escape and his body returned to that of the young wife he had killed out of jealousy. (PB)
