Encounter with a maniac in a country town in Gippsland, Victoria. An orphan living with his kindly uncle has music lessons from a neighbouring professor until the day arrives when the professor seeks his soul for his music. Fair example of the genre; perhaps the first in the AJ set explicitly in Australia. (PB)
