- Robert Ffolliott is a young Irish lad who is done out of his land and sent off to a penal colony in Australia following false accusations by the greedy Kinchella. Conn the Shaughraun comes to his rescue, helps him to escape from the prison ship and return to Ireland where he is united with his sweetheart.
- By the death of their father, Robert and Claire Ffolliott, are given into the care of Corry Kinchela, an unscrupulous land agent, who schemes with Harvey Duff, a dishonest police officer, to secure possession of the children's lands. Robert is convicted on Duff's testimony and sentenced to the penal settlement in Australia. His sister, Clair, and sweetheart, Arte, are dependent upon Conn, the Shaughraun, who supplies them with food by his poaching. Several years later Robert returns to Ireland, but is captured as a fugitive and thrown into prison. The crafty Conn assists him to escape and feigns death when bred upon by a sentinel. It is commonly believed that Conn has been killed, and a wake is held, during which the Shaughraun learns of a plan to spirit the girls out of the country. Kinchela and his accomplices are brought to justice and the girls reunited to their sweethearts.—Moving Picture World synopsis
