The old man, out of sheer fiendishness, kills an inoffensive Italian window-washer and an Irish bartender, then has Johnny arrested for murder. Because the old man swears he was an eyewitness and Johnny's alibi is weak, things look black for him. But with Johnny in deadly peril, Trelia's love suddenly awakens, matures overnight. With a woman's unerring...
