Pegeen O'Barry lives in a little Irish fishing
village with her kindhearted but alcoholic father and her brutal stepmother
Moll. After O'Barry is killed in a drunken brawl, Pegeen runs away to
the shore to vent her grief, where she attracts the attention of Sir Arthur
Ormsby, an Englishman who is cruising along the coast in his yacht.
Sir Arthur offers her protection and, along with her friend Jerry O'Flynn
and his parrot, she soon settles into the Ormsby estate.
Pegeen and Sir Arthur develop a strong affection
for each other, and all goes well until Arthur's dissolute brother Guy
arrives, followed by a chorus girl named Kitty Brice. Guy attempts to
win Pegeen's love by suggesting that Arthur loves Kitty, which Pegeen
believes, until Arthur explains that he really loves her. Guy returns
to Kitty and Arthur finds happiness with Pegeen. |
