Molly Bawn, an Irish lass, had fallen in love with the dashing highwayman, and at every opportunity he would sneak into the town in which she lived. Molly and her father lived in a house belonging to the Mayor, whose son was very much taken with Molly's ways. Willy is paying a visit to the townspeople. He sees the Mayor's son coming with Molly and at once becomes jealous. He warns Jack to stay away from the Bawn house and their words lead to a fight, but afterwards they become friends. The Mayor bitterly hates Willy and sets the soldiers on Willy's trail so that he is forced to flee. But Willy cannot remain away from Molly long and pays her another visit. The Mayor has seen Willy hanging about and suggests that the soldiers watch Molly's house. Molly hides Willy so successfully they are unable to locate him. Jack, while wandering about the house, locates the bandit's hiding place. The Mayor wishing to get Willy at any cost, promises Molly that if she will give him up, she and her father will not be molested for the long overdue rent. Jack hears this and sneaking to the hiding place, tells Willy the news. Willy decides to sacrifice himself rather than have Molly thrown out of her home and surrenders himself to the soldiers. Molly attracts the attention of the soldiers and while they are gone manages to steal the flints from their muskets. She goes back and tells Willy what she has done and Jack, overhearing them, tells Willy that he will be waiting beside a certain tree. A short time later Willy makes a break for liberty. Willy finds Jack waiting for him with a saddle horse and gets away safely, and at last, through the untiring efforts of Jack, the couple are united and sail to America.
