Mrs. Peachum. finds out from her husband’s assistant, Flich, that the couple are already married. The Peachums decide that Captain Macheath must hang, and, despite Polly’s pleas, make arrangements for his betrayal. The philandering highwayman is captured and put in Newgate gaol, but the head gaoler’s daughter, Lucy, is also in love with him, and assists him to escape, Through his fondness for women, he is once again captured by. Peachum, and returned to Newgate. He is committed to trial in the Old Bailey, and sentenced to death, but, at the last moment, a reprieve arrives, and he is freed, 11, 0 LONDON NEWS eee 11.20 CLOSE DOWN |
