Small town murder. A strongly attractive woman is about to be married to an old rich man when her former fiancee, and a Jewish peddler selling jewellery to whom the girls owes 90 pounds for a bracelet, arrives in town. Her death later leads to the Jew's arrest but it is an old and betrayed fiancee whose anger is strongest. Includes a sub-plot of a 'romance' between a 30 year-old housekeeper and a young ostler. (PB)
