When the story begins, Judge Connors (Herbert Marshall) is in for a shock...his young wife is leaving him for another man. And here is where it gets odd....as she packs, her boyfriend comes into the home to wait for her...and he and the Judge talk..and talk...and talk...and talk some more. During part of this, you wonder if maybe the Judge will end up shooting the boyfriend...but mostly you are surprised how civilized it all is and how talky it is. Sure, there is a nice twist at the end, but it seemed to take a long time and overall it's not a great episode...but would have been had it been 15 minutes instead of 30.
By the way, near the beginning, you'll probably notice Marshall limping as he goes to the front door. This is because he lost his leg in WWI and in most films, they probably re-shoot scenes where he limps noticeably. Here, oddly, they didn't.
