Synopsis

Rory O'More, a musician who works in an Irish peat bog, comes to the United States, leaving his sweetheart, Kathleen, behind. He promises to send for her as soon as he makes good. Although he writes letters daily to Kathleen, he does not post them, determined to hold them until he has good news to go with them. Finally, he gets a job playing the violin in a theatrical production. Despondent at not hearing from him, Kathleen borrows money to go to America and to bring Rory back to Ireland. She returns to Ireland in a huff when she sees Rory on stage playing their song, "Darlin' My Darlin'," while a blonde girl kisses him. They are reconciled when Rory appears in Ireland and explains everything to Kathleen's satisfaction, and the whole family emigrates to the States.
