Tusschen Liefde en Plicht

Summary

Marguerite and Lolotte, accompanied by two apaches, visit a cabaret, where Lolotte performs the apache dance with Marguerite's lover. Marguerite, her rival, is arrested and sent to prison. She attempts to escape but is seen by a sentry. She exercises her arts upon him, endeavouring to persuade him to let her escape. He orders her back to her cell, but she is unable to return. Finally the irate man flings her from him, and as the night guard come in sight, shoots her. For this he is recommended for promotion.
