He does later, however, and finding she is going with Michael, plans to play ghost, which he does, as they are on the way, and Michael, nearly frightened to death, runs away.

The British burn the cottage of Barney's mother in an effort to discover the leader. Nora takes the old woman into her home. Barney and his friends, in an effort to punish Michael, drive him insane. A dispatch bearer with papers is wounded and seeks refuge in Nora's cottage, and asks Barney's mother to take the papers. She does so, is discovered with them, and arrested for treason. The colonel informs Barney if he gives himself up he would save his mother's life. Barney agrees, and is consequently hanged for treason. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
