Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this drama, the town skin-flint hoardes the only water supply keeping others in his drought ravaged village from the water they desperately need. His water is guarded by his little brother. When a villager is caught trespassing, the miser kills him but assigns the blame to his brother. The dutiful brother goes to prison. Meanwhile the miser tells his brother's wife that he died. Time passes and the brother is pardoned. He gets home just in time to rescue his wife and make sure the village has the water they need.
