Thornton is met with conflict when he encounters local landowner Squire “Red” Will Danaher (Victor McLaglen) and finds himself keen on the red-headed beauty Mary Kate (Maureen O’Hara), who happens to be Red’s sister. In an attempt to respect and abide by local Irish customs, Thornton discovers the significance of a dowry, with some drinking and fighting along the way.
