Two gentlemen climb into a hansom cab one murky night. One man climbs out, the other travels on, but upon arrival, the driver finds the second man dead: murdered. The victim’s romantic rival, Brian Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder, but refuses to provide an alibi, thus forcing his lawyer and his fiancÔee Madge to search for the truth to save Brian’s life. The search not only uncovers a trail of secrets and scandal through grand Victorian houses, opium dens and brothels, but their revelation also threatens to tear Madge’s family apart. The Mystery of a Hansom Cab is a human story of jealousy, blackmail, self-made men, frustrated ambitions and secrecy.
