Summary
Within the peculiar confines of a town so utterly enervated that its populace habitually drifts into a standing slumber, their inert forms merely awaiting the unseen director's cue to animate, unfolds the narrative of "His Bitter Half." At its heart is Al, the legitimate, though currently dispossessed, claimant to a venerable hotel, a birthright unjustly held hostage. A cunning, opportunistic lawyer, privy to some undisclosed leverage, deftly strong-arms the hotel's avaricious incumbent into surrendering a half-share of the business, a pact forged in the crucible of clandestine silence. Yet, the machinations of this underhanded deal, shrouded in an untold twist of fate, ultimately unravel, allowing Al, the rightful heir, to reclaim his patrimony and, perhaps, awaken the dormant spirit of this strangely suspended community.
Synopsis
Al is supposed to be the rightful heir to a hotel in a town so dead that the inhabitants go to sleep standing up save when the director calls them into action. A rascally lawyer forces the dastardly hotel keeper to give him a half share in the business in return for his promise of secrecy, but in some untold way the rightful heir comes into his own.
