Revenge!


Love or lunacy? Tragic tale of a gentleman farmer [Wm Haggar Jnr] whose life is turned upside down when his wife embarks on an affair with the local asylum's chief warder. Revenge is taken not cold but in the heat of desperate anger and brings the film's death toll to 7. One of the few surviving films shot by [Arthur] William Haggar (1851-1925), a travelling showman and film pioneer based in Wales from the 1880s onwards.
