Set in a farming district, a widow married to a much younger man, a former farm labourer, appeals to a neighbour to help prevent the daughter's marriage to his labourer. The neighbour has encouraged the match as he holds the deeds to the widow's farm and wants to see her totally broken. The widow murders him, his labourer is blamed until the widow confesses and kills herself. (PB)
