Self-Defence

Examiner of Plays' Summary:

In ‘self-defence’ a distracted woman has just shot a blackmailing scoundrel (he is a German-American, but his nationality does not matter, as he is never seen) who has demanded her money or her honour. To her terror she is discovered in the flat one with the corpse, by a detective, to whom she tells her story, when, to her relief, the detective takes the crime upon his own shoulders in order to win credit for ridding the world of the traitor whom he wanted to arrest. Recommended for license. Ernest A. Bendall.
