Two women fight a duel with knives until one of them dies.

Show full synopsis

In a very similar vein to the same company's Has He Hit Me? (1898), this startlingly vicious-seeming duel between knife-wielding women was clearly sourced from an existing stage production, thought to be the Drury Lane theatre melodrama Women and Wine. The actresses are unidentified.
