The Phelans are a family of Irish tenant farmers: Sean and his wife Maeve ; Conor, Liam and Daniel, a schoolteacher who is also a member of the secret society. Further conflicts arise in attempts to collect their rent and fight against the Agent (Mr. Townsend) who continues to try to be as fair as he might under the circumstances. He defers the payment of the rent until after the harvest. He orders that a Catholic priest be brought to the parish since there is none; Father Liam Phelan arrives. Father Liam attempts to make peace and opposes Daniel's violent "solution". Daniel fails in an attempt to assassinate Townsend, only seriously wounding him in the leg. Townsend arrives home battered and gulps down brandy to numb the pain. He asks Mary Dolan his maid who was hired on after being turned out of their land by Townsend himself when her family could not pay rent, to help him off with his boots. The brandy and his proximity to her in her night shirt encourage him to make a pass at her, but he does not assault her. He begs her pardon the next day. Starring: Joe Mcgann, Paul Mcgann, Mark Mcgann, Stephen Mcgann, Michael Kitchen
