| Synopsis: Leonora, being an old-fashioned mother, requests a fellow traveler to clost the window of their compartment because her daughter Milly has a sniffy cold. The Traveler refuses and Leonora pushes him off the train, closing the window herself. She is arrested, charlged with murder and brought to trial, but she so charms the judge and jury that she easily convinces them of the justice of her act and is triumphantly acquitted. |
