- Deals with the difficult subject of stranger awareness by speaking directly and frankly to children between nine and fourteen years of age. Program stresses the use of good judgment as different situations are presented.
- Frederick Huller, his wife and their son, Stephen, are acrobats of renown and ability. Domestic happiness has reigned supreme in their home for many years, until one day when Mr. and Mrs. Huller become acquainted with a rope dancer named Borellya. The acquaintanceship soon develops into intimacy, and we see the wife keep many appointments with the rope dancer. One morning, in a café where several artists have assembled, Huller finds his wife talking about the fame of their colleagues. Upon the entrance of Huller the conversation ceases, which arouses his suspicion. Just as he is about to leave the theater agent, Klereck, asks him to remain. He demands to know on what subject their conversation was, and one of his colleagues tells him that it was about the attentions his wife is paying to Borellya. He flies into a passion and leaves the café with Klereck. As he passes the hotel in which Borellya is staying he sees his wife coming out with the rope dancer. He walks about distractedly, and in the evening he performs his duties as usual, but does not speak to his wife. After the show he goes to the hotel where Borellya lives and kills him. Later he gives himself up to the police. At the trial he demands justice, and not pardon, but he has made such a good impression on the jurymen that they acquit him of murder and sentence him to a year's imprisonment. The foreman of the jury offers to take care of Huller's son, for which he is very glad, as he does not want him to go back to his mother. Furthermore he makes Stephen swear that he will never marry. Will young Stephen keep his oath? Will the wronged Frederick Huller, when he leaves the prison after serving his sentence, make it his duty to watch continuously over his son? Will the mother feel repentant? These are a few of the questions in a situation revealed to us, and finally we picture to ourselves the unhappy Hortense Huller in abject misery, sans husband, sans son, sans everything.
