The Story of a Lie
A chance encounter in a Parisian cafe leads to a series of unfortunate ‘misunderstandings’ which threaten to bring to a premature and irreconcilable end the envisioned marriage between a pair of young lovers. When eligible bachelor Dick Naseby meets the lovely young Esther Van Tromp – estranged from her cherished father, a talented artist whose success takes him around the world, and delighted to meet someone of his acquaintance – he is too well-bred and smitten with her to confess the truth, misguidedly believing that to reveal it would be the greatest harm that he could do…”The Story of Lie” is a lesson in life encompassing art, alcohol and deceit in all its forms.
