Daring the Maypole dance Craven attempts to win his wager but meets with a hearty repulse and retires discomfited to the White Horse Tavern vowing vengeance, to the amusement of his companions. Jack, learning of Craven's misconduct, seeks him out and a desperate fight ensues in which Jack is rendered unconscious by a blow from Craven's heavy walking stick. When Jack recovers his mind is blank, he is idiotic. Craven denounces Nancy as a witch, claiming that she has bewitched Jack. A warrant is issued and Nancy is arrested, tried and sentenced to be burned at the stake, unless she uses her alleged art of witchcraft to restore Jack's reason. She fails to do so. Jack recovers his reason, learns of his sweetheart's great danger and reaches the public square just as the torch is about to be applied. Nancy is saved to the delight of the villagers. Craven, hidden in the crowd, is seen and recognized by Jack who drags him forth. The truth comes out. The Governor orders the arrest of Craven, who is taken away, while Jack and Nancy return home to give thanks for their providential delivery. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
