But ...See moreWhen O'Malley the bricklayer fell heir to $30 million, he had a violent attack of social aspiration for himself and his daughter, and nothing would do but for him to marry the widow Sophia Soapsud and for his daughter to marry a Duke. But the villains conspired with Wun Lung Woo to marry the daughter and secure the fortune. Wun Lung Woo practiced the gentle art of laundry in the front part of his shop, and the exact science of torture in the torture chamber in the rear. He had various devices such as mechanical beating apparatus, feather ticklers for the soles of the feet, and a wash-wringer adapted to taking the starch out of victims. But the victims survived the ordeals of this torture chamber, and came through triumphantly to the usual movie finale: a wedding, with all of the fuss that Ash-Can Alley could kick up.
