When Judson came into the closet where he kept his ammunitions, fishing rod and liquor, he noticed that a bottle of whiskey was half full and a glass cup beside it. He knew that someone stole his liquor. In order to punish the thief, he decided to poison the liquor when they were about going for winter but his wife, Mabel kicked against the act.
Below is an excerpt that revealed how satisfied Judson was to carry out the act:
<em>"He corked his bottled vengeance and set it back on the shelf alongside the little whiskey glass.“Everything nice and handy,” he remarked approvingly. “Now, Mr. Thief, when you break in, drink hearty; I won’t begrudge you this one.”</em>
"Ruthless" is a story written by American writer, William DeMille. He was most well-known for screenwriting and film directing.
In "Ruthless", the theme of the story is simply revenge which is developed through Judson's character.
