Sir James Blackadder is anxious to see Nell O'Connor caught, as he is in love with Lady Broughton, who is the promised wife of O'Connor. Sir James employs a notorious character, Red Rufus, to spy upon O'Connor, and offers him a large reward if O'Connor is captured, but O'Connor has many friends, among them being Pike and Honora, two simple-hearted, loyal Irish patriots, who aid O'Connor throughout his forced exile. When Sir James shows Lady Broughton a pardon for O'Connor, and threatens to burn it up unless she becomes his wife, Honora manages to obtain the pardon, secretes it on her person and replaces same with another paper, which Sir James burns. When O'Connor is captured and brought before Sir James, who is about to commit him to Jail, in spite of the pleadings of Lady Broughton, Pike and Honora spoil this plan by producing the pardon.
