Mary Barton

Mary Barton rejects her childhood friend Jem's affections in the hope of marrying Henry, mill-owner's charming son, and escaping from the hard and bitter life that is the fate of the mill workers. But when Henry is shot dead in the street Jem becomes the prime suspect and Mary finds her loyalties tested to the limit.

Mary Barton respinge afectiunile prietenului ei din copilarie, Jem, in speranta de a se casatori cu Henry, fiul fermecator al proprietarului morii, si de a scapa din viata grea si amara care este soarta muncitorilor morii. Dar cand Henry este impuscat mort pe strada, Jem devine principalul suspect, iar Mary isi gaseste loialitatea testata la limita.
