Charles, in a wheelchair since an auto accident, learns that the accident was no accident at all, and that his wife Laura wanted to kill him because she was sick and tired of living with him. She now informs him that is going to try again by wheeling him out on a pier, attaching a wire to it so that she can pull the chair into the lake as she goes swimming. But she is in for a great surprise!; Jonathan worked hard at his work, never wanting to follow in the footsteps of his father. Then he met Elsie, whom he intended to marry after he had established himself. However, because Jonathan's father was not a member of a guild, Jonathan was denied his opportunity to make a living, and reluctantly accepted doing his father's line of work. On the side, Jonathan practiced his own trade, which kept him away from home for days at a time. One day, he returned home to find that his wife had been fooling around with another man and had killed him. Now, Jonathan must ply his own trade: on Elsie!
