The scene opens up showing the fisherman kissing his wife good-bye, while he starts out for the day's work. Next we find the fisherman and son at work down by the water when suddenly a number of fugitives who are trying to escape from the Royalists come along and ask the fisherman if he could tell them of a good hiding place where the enemy would not be able to find them. The fisherman being sympathetic and kind leads them to a place in the woods. After the fisherman returns home the Royalists, who are looking for the fugitives, come to the house of the fisherman and claim that he knows something of the whereabouts of the fugitives whom they are looking for. The fisherman declines the betrayal of his secret and commands his son to keep silent when the soldiers question him. We then see the son fishing alone when a number of Royalists approach him and ask him about the whereabouts of the fugitives. He refuses to tell them anything at first, but they try to bribe him by offering him gold. The sight of the money so captivates the boy that he accepts same and shows them the hiding place of the fugitives. The Royalists surround the place and force the fugitives to either surrender or take a chance in making their escape. Next we see the boy returning home acting rather queer. His father noticing his strange actions, questions him, but doesn't get any satisfaction. Just at this moment we see one of the fugitives run by the house and is shot right in front of the door. The father seeing this immediately realizes that they had been found at their hiding place and suspects his son. He enters the house to find his son counting the gold which was given him for the betrayal of the secret. The fisherman feels his honor compels him to take the life of his son, and so informs the boy that he must die. The boy kneels down and pleads with the father, but all in vain. He takes the boy to a lonely spot and there, after commanding his son to pray to his God, is on the verge of shooting him when his mother appeals. She steps between the father and son, telling the father that if he takes her son's life he must take hers also. This softens the fisherman's heart and he forgives his son.
