AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Henry Gilford was leading a quiet life until the day the beautiful blonde drove into the garage where he worked and bought some petrol. Next night she came back, and the night after that, until Henry asked her to go dancing. But to go dancing at a night-club proved bigger adventure than Henry had bargained for. It led the quiet and inoffensive man to the gallows and placed a rope around his neck for a murder he didn't commit. How he was saved from certain death is told in this'.
