The Fall

<p>A fall to a death results in another fall when the only suspect falls out of sight and goes underground to avoid the authorities; such action begun by an act of corruption in high places. High enough to precipitate a fall. While on the run from the police and the dead man's brother the fugitive quickly discovers how difficult it is to exist outside his pattern of a conventional middle-class environment as he meets amongst others a short-order cook who writes romantic novels a reformed dipsomaniac Professor and a lady taxi-driver. He finds romance with her by the riverside another fall; into love and eventually the villains the perpetrators of the initial duplicity receive their just deserts or nearly so.</p>
