This film is actually an excerpt from the novel
by a chap named Marchmont in which the hero, a fellow with the heroic name of
Hamylton Tregethner attempts to dissuade a fellow soldier from insisting on a
sword duel for some unexplained offence. The other chap - whose trousers are so
tight when he turns his back to the camera it looks as if he isn't wearing any
- insists on duelling however, only to storm off in a huff after Tregethner
nicks him on the arm. Ralph Stuart cuts quite a dashing figure as the
hero.
