Angus rides through the forest, dismounts and approaches the castle where his beloved, Rhona, lives. Appearing on the balcony, she throws him a letter breaking the news that she is compelled to marry a rich relative.

The weeping lovers try to reach each other, but Rhona is pulled away from the balcony by her father, the Laird. Angus pleads with him, but the Laird throws a chair in his direction, and has to be restrained by Rhona.

Angus sits by a mist-shrouded lake, and broods. Three ethereal fairy-creatures approach him and conjure up another from a flower. She hesitantly steps out from amongst the petals and hands Angus an elaborately decorated casket. The four 'wee folk' drift away.

Energised, Angus mounts his horse and rides back to town, leaping from crag to crag. Outside the church, the Laird drags a reluctant Rhona to his kinsman, who is waiting at the entrance. Angus rides up to them, dismounts and hands the Laird the casket. Inside is a Post Office Savings Bank book. Thrilled, the Laird hugs Angus and permits him to marry Rhona.
