Synopsis
Hugh O'Donnell, who is the town blacksmith and leader among the people, is very much in love with Molly Conway, who shows her love for Hugh in mischievous pranks at his expense. Lord Percival Cheltenham owns most of the village and is hated for his war on poachers. One day, Lady Mary Thorne, who is visiting Cheltenham, stops at the blacksmith shop to have her horse shod and, impressed by Hugh's rugged manliness, invites him to visit. Molly, overhearing the conversation, follows Hugh to the manor, where she is seen by Cheltenham, who has been drinking, and dragged inside. That night, Cheltenham's gamekeeper shoots a poacher, and the peasants storm the manor in revenge. Hugh holds them at bay and promises to turn the culprit over to the law. Searching the manor for its master, Hugh breaks into the library and finds Cheltenham with Molly. Believing that they are having an affair, the blacksmith attempts to choke the lord until Molly explains that she had flirted with Cheltenham in order to arouse Hugh's jealousy, and all is forgiven.
