The squire's son, Bernard, brings his friend Crosbie to stay and he falls in love with Lily and they get engaged. But ambitious Crosbie is hoping the squire will give Lily a dowry and ends up jilting her and getting engaged to the Duchess' daughter instead. But local boy Eames has always loved Lily and he beats up Crosbie at Paddington station, and tries his luck with Lily... |
