There's quite a bit of action in this short drama, but much of it is muddled, and it's distracting to have to try to figure out what is going on while also keeping up with the action at the same time. It's watchable if you are interested in the techniques and material of early narrative features, but it mostly serves as something of an example of the ways that many early film-makers had to develop their story-telling techniques from hard-gained experience.
The story follows an involved altercation that starts between a husband and an interloper who is on affectionate terms with the first man's wife. This paramour is in uniform, and he has several uniformed friends who join in the conflict, but it's never quite made definite whether they are from the police or from a sanitarium of some kind. Some aspects of the situation become a little clearer after watching it two or three times, but even then there are some things that remain uncertain.
This is one of a group of British features of the era that were originally based on actual incidents that had aroused some degree of public concern, and there is probably a very interesting story behind the events in this short movie. It may have been much clearer to its original audiences, and it's also possible that someone very patient and observant might still be able to piece together even more of the details after some careful viewings.
