Two men vie for her affection: Michael Downing, the arrogant son of a mysterious neighbor, and Jan Van Ryswyk, a charismatic Dutch riverboatman who claims love and intentions of marriage. When a fire devastates the farm’s crops during a Lord Downing ball, suspicion falls on Jan and his Dutch companions.
