causes many men to make great
sacrifices. 1t resulted in the i'm
prisonment of Daniel Craig, a
youth, who was always unfortunate.
The old saying that love will find a
way, proved doubly true in the case
of Daniel Craig. While in Jail he
thought of a scheme to get absolute
justice, for like many another, ne
thought the law was not infallible.
In this he made a mistake. He
found that the only way to regain
honor and position is through aid
Ing the law. The story is filled
with exciting situations, real thrills
and is entirely different from the
ordinary story of this type.
