In 1916, in Ireland during the First World War, the cheerful girl Rosie Ryan, the principal of the primary school, who was much older than her . The two vowed to marry soon. On their wedding night, Rosie and Charles had an unpleasant altercation, and both suffered from it. The incoming garrison commander, Major Randover, fell in love with Rosie at first sight, and the people in the village talked a lot. Old traditional ideas and a case of fornicating the German army to sell arms caused the people in the village to ruthlessly punish Rosie. Rosie's husband, Charles, can't quell the anger of the people, but Father Colinarrives to quell the anger of the villagers. Randover mistook Rosie for abandoning him and committed suicide. Rosie, angry with the villagers' secular prejudice, left the backward and troubled mountain village with her husband

Mrs. McCardle: [as Rosy walks out of the store] The way I see it, Mrs. Kenyan. There's loose women and there's whores... and, then, there's British soldier's whores!

Captain: Well, if it's all the same to you, sir, I'll be straight off. I've given myself leave.
Randolph Doryan: Yes?
Captain: Embarkation leave. France. Second Batallion, Southeast Lanchasires... they're in the front line. Will you tell me something, man to man? What's it like, really - front line?
[Doryan's face expresses discomfort]
Captain: Aye. Well, I'll find out soon enough. I'm a coward, you see. No, I always have been - from being a lad. I can't master it. Well, I don't suppose I've tried, really. I'd give my left arm to have a touch of what you've got. I hate it! Just the bloody thought of it gives me the shakes. In fact, that's my nightmare, the shakes. I don't mind dying - not if it's quick. Life's not that much, is it? I wouldn't mind having a gammy leg, like you've got - though I don't suppose it's funny. But the shakes? Shellshock? Just shaking and shambling like a... epileptic baby? Nay, I'd rather be dead! I can see what's coming - I'm going to disgrace myself...
Randolph Doryan: You don't know what you'll do. No one does - you don't know what you're doing?
Captain: Really? I read what you did in the newspapers. That weren't no flash in the pan - you'd do the same again, I dare say.
Randolph Doryan: You'd be wrong.
Captain: Well, you've done your bit - someone else's turn, eh?
