A young squire has fallen in love with the pretty daughter of one of his tenants. Unfortunately he has never been able to declare his love to the pretty Irish lass for lack of opportunity. While visiting among his tenants with his sister, they come to the home of the girl's parents and the young squire makes the best of this opportunity, declares his love, and asks the pretty colleen to become his wife. Although flattered by the offer of the young squire, the lass hesitates about accepting, as she loves and is beloved by a handsome Irish lad of her village. Being undecided, she asks the squire for time and assures him of her answer on the morrow. The squire returns to his home and writes a note to the colleen, stating that he will call the following day for his answer. As the girl is perusing the epistle and pondering over the dilemma she falls asleep. She dreams that she has married the squire and that he has grown tired of her: he has even gone so far as to hire assassins to waylay and murder her. The timely arrival of her former sweetheart and his heroic battle with the hired assassins saves her from this violent death. The young squire meeting his wife and her former sweetheart becomes insanely jealous. He is about to kill her when her former sweetheart begins a desperate struggle and accidentally kills the young squire. Soldiers passing that way come upon the scene and place the Irish lad under arrest for the murder of the squire. The lad is condemned to death and the day is set for his execution. The girl then realizes how great her love is for the poor Irish lad and also that her marriage to the squire was a great mistake. She visits the lad in his cell on the last day and as he is led forth to the execution she falls in a faint. She wakes from this horrible dream sobbing bitterly, and makes up her mind as to the proper answer to give to the squire. When the squire calls on the following day she introduces him to the Irish lad who has been her sweetheart for years and thanking the squire for the honor of his proposal, assures him that she would rather be the wife of the Irish lad, whom she loved. The squire takes his defeat manfully and makes the happy couple a substantial wedding present sufficient to give them a start in life.
