Comic Story | Penance For A Kiss (6 pages) |
Synopsis | George is acquitted of the murder of Jane, who drowned after falling out of a rowboat they were in. George’s fiancee breaks up with him and he is unable to find a job. He’s finally hired at a roadside diner through the intervention of waitress Rita. George and Rita fall in love but he’s afraid to confess his past to her. Rita finally explains she knows who he is: her own father had been found not guilty of murder, so she empathizes with his struggles to rebuild his life. |
Content | Genre: Romance | Characters: George Weyburn; Jane Cotter; Lily Emerson; John Emerson; Rita Allen; Henri (chauffeur); Mike (diner owner) |
Notes | The story of George and Jane (he rejects her, she drowns after falling from a rowboat) is probably based on the novel "An American Tragedy" by Theodore Dreiser, although in this story George is innocent of murder and not an unsympathetic character at all. |
