AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'"The Strangler's Grip" is a sensational story of a woman's encounter with a tramp. It shows John Dalton, a squatter, having a quiet evening with his wife, when he receives a telegram calling him from home on urgent business. His wife implores him to stay, as she has a presentiment of danger to herself. He assures her all will be well, as she can ring him up on the 'phone. Besides, old Simon, the butler, will protect her. Some time after John's departure a tramp makes his appearance. Then the sensational aspect of the story is illustrated. It is a picture full of excitement.'
