This quaint and picturesque play possesses all the varying
elements essential to the successful screen drama love, sacri
fice, humor, mystery and thrill and is laid in the charming
period of the early nineteenth century, when daring elope
ments to Gretna Green, a lovers' haven in the North of Scot
land, added a dash of excitement to many true love matches,
when hearts reigned over the marts of commerce, just before
the prose of business usurped the poetry of romance.
