synopsis
This drama is based upon Stephen Crane's short story, "The Monster." It chronicles the difficulties faced by a Swedish handyman who is horribly burned while saving a child from a fire. Though he had once been the town darling, the terrible scars he bears have made him into a pariah. This results in severe emotional scarring. The cruelty of his neighbors inspires bitterness and a murderous rage within him.
