When a roving magician and his terminally ill wife come to town, the trouble starts. Dora begins using Emil as a runner between she and the magician who are having an affair. After she and the magician run off together the heartbroken lad considers giving up his apprenticeship and going home to his parents. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
