Hatter's Castle

Newton is a vicious Scottish hatmaker who has become very successful in business. He lives with his wife, Varley, and their daughter, Kerr, in a huge mansion which he calls Hatter's Castle. Varley is ill and fearful of his lightning quick temper, but he shows a softer side to his mistress, Stamp-Taylor, a bar maid at a local pub. Williams is her one-time amour, and she prevails on Newton to give the man a job at the hat factory. Williams meets Kerr and thinks he can woo her and thereby gain her vast legacy. However, she is in love with Mason, a doctor in the area. Williams sees that he must foil that affair, so he tells Newton, who banishes her from Hatter's Castle...
