The Widow Wood and Lilly Rathbone Affair in a Store
Richard Wood recalls how his sister in law Margaret Ann schemes to win her late husband’s fortune and how Lilly Rathbone becomes a target. A missing thousand dollar note, a key found in a basket, and a dramatic confrontation reveal Margaret Ann’s jealousy and Lilly’s innocence as justice and mercy resolve the case.
