THE MAN, whose birth we know little but who had survived an attempted abortion, digs his grave, fills it with water and cement and - in the last scene - throws himself in.
Three days earlier he had met THE LITTLE GIRL and had tricked her into going with him down to the river, where he made her fall and caused her death.
The police make enquiries as he is the prime suspect and at the same time arrest her uncle who had previously sexually abused his niece.
