Synopsis

In an Ulster village near the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, lives the Muldoon family. Father Pat Muldoon smuggles cattle across the border while his daughter Kathleen is courted by Jim O'Grady, one of the border guards. Problems arise when Kathleen's brother Kerry is recognized as a gun-smuggling rebel. The guards discover the hideout of the rebels, and in the ensuing battle, the hideout catches fire. After saving Jim's life, Kerry manages to escape.
