The plot unfolds in a rural setting, highlighting themes of deception, misunderstandings, and social class interactions. The narrative follows Crosby as he travels to meet Mrs. Delancy at her brother-in-law's farm to finalize legal matters concerning her husband's estate. Upon arrival, he encounters Swallow, a fierce bulldog who guards the barn and prevents him from accessing the house.
