The Wager by Isa Urquhart Glenn Reading of a heated wager amid a Manila dance hall.
In a rain drenched Manila night, two American men bet on a dancer later called Mary Casey. The scene shifts between a diverse crowd, the wager, and the dancer recounting her hard earned independence from men who seek to own her. Mary speaks of taking care of herself and choosing her own path, despite pressure from suitors and peers.
