The tale revolves around David Watson, a goldsmith's apprentice tormented by the maltreatment he endures at the hands of his overbearing fellow apprentice, Andrew Bevan. When his master declines to intervene, David's anger escalates into a murderous plot. The author paints a rich picture of the socio-economic conditions prevalent during that time, with poverty and inequality providing breeding grounds for both despair and crime.
