The Green Swamp

Summary

In an era of burgeoning societal anxieties and veiled domesticity, Dr. Ward Allison, a physician of apparent repute, finds his marital bond with Margery fraying under the weight of her escalating jealousy. Her suspicions, fueled by his disproportionate dedication to his predominantly female patient roster, reach a fever pitch when he announces an ostensible professional absence. However, Margery unearths intelligence suggesting his true whereabouts are far from a medical conference; he is reportedly ensconced at the residence of a colleague, Dr. Hendon, purportedly orchestrating clandestine revelries with his vulnerable patients. Driven by a potent cocktail of indignation and trepidation, Margery embarks on a quest for vindication, only to unearth a truth far more insidious and profoundly disturbing than the mere specter of infidelity or illicit hedonism, a revelation that shatters the very foundations of her perceived reality and exposes a chilling underbelly of deception.

Synopsis

Most of the patients of Dr. Ward Allison are women, and his wife Margery is becoming increasingly jealous of all the time he spends with them. One day he tells her that he has been called out of town, but she is told that he is really staying at the house of a friend and colleague, Dr. Hendon, and the two are planning wild parties with their female patients. What she finds out, however, is even more shocking than what she expected.
