Item details

Handicapped by heredity and the evil influence of a wastrel brother. Lizzie Weir makes a wreck of her home. Through "instalments'' and betting she is in a constant muddle of debt. Tragedy unfolds itself when the Corporation plumber finds that she has robbed the meter. Her husband, at the end of his tether, refuses to help her. She makes a futile e?ort at reform but lapses back into old ways. This poignant tragedy of real life is enlivened by much humour.
