Based on Bayard Veiller’s 1912 Broadway hit, Within the Law follows Mary Turner, wrongly imprisoned for theft, who vows revenge on the man who sent her to prison — but revenge taken strictly within the letter of the law. The play was a sensation on its first run, and Marvin Dana’s prose adaptation brought the story to a wider readership.
