Overview
An amateur drama, a smartly-dressed man in a sports car greets a woman with a wolfish grin. They settle in the park and the man reveals a ring and pops the question - only to be met with denial. He resigns to bar and booze, and the two drink in silence. On the drive back, the man swerves to avoid a child, resulting in his demise. But his lover flees, returning home to the dramatic reveal of a husband and child!
This film is from the collection of Sutton Archives, a member of the London's Screen Archives Network.
