1. The Broken Cross

The lawyer, Mr Carlyle, meets the beautiful Lady Isabel and buys East Lynne in secret. With David Collings and Moir Leslie.

Lord Mount Severn's country seat, East Lynne, would seem to speak most eloquently of its owner's wealth and power, but it is a hollow facade.

The noble lord is penniless and therein lie the seeds of the tragedy that is to be the lot of his only child, the Lady Isabel.
