Victor Stowell, son of the deemster of the Isle of Man, is engaged to Fenella Stanley. He becomes involved in an intrigue with local girl Bessie Collister, becomes the deemster on his father's death, and is forced to try Bessie for killing her illegitimate child. When Bessie refuses to name the father of the baby, Fenella and Alick Gell, who loves Bessie, guess that it is Victor. Bessie is condemned to die, but Victor helps her escape to meet and marry Alick. He then confesses all, serves a jail sentence, and marries Fenella at the expiration of the term. Written by AFI |
