Lord Arthur Savile's engagement to the lovely Sybil Merton looks like eternal happiness - but all this changes when Lady Merton's chiromantist Podgers reads Lord Arthur's palm. In secret, Mr Podgers reveals that he saw blood on Arthur's palm. In other words, at some point in Arthur's life, he would commit a murder. To prevent his future wife from having to bow her head in shame for him, Arthur resolves he must commit this bloody deed before he marries...
