AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A convict is heartened in his English prison by the Governor's wife who reminds him he has been forgiven and saved already. On release his brother refuses to let him see his child and he is drawn into a plot to wreck a train - until he discovers the governor's wife will be on it and he sacrifices his life to save her. Sentimental with a touch of genuine pathos. (PB)
