1942 - A young woman’s life is dramatically altered after she moves from outport Newfoundland to the wartime bustle of St. John’s and a young man stands accused of a grisly crime. This is the true story of young romance, brutal murder, a speedy trial and the handing down of the ultimate punishment. One Blue Button is disturbing in its detail, unsettling in its circumstances, and frightening in its exposure of the speed at which lives can change forever. A thought-provoking reflection on the complicated but brief trial of Herbert Spratt, One Blue Button examines the tragic events that led to Newfoundland’s final use of Capital Punishment and leaves you to answer the ultimate question, was the use of the Hangman’s Noose a fitting end?
