- A Victorian rent collector's aspirations are hindered by class bias and familial hurdles. Faced with criminal opposition, his prospects seem bleak until unexpected allies and fortuitous events suggest he may prevail.
- Jack returns to a Gallowshield gripped by mass unemployment and lodges with Sarah and her unpleasant younger brother Harry, who tell him that Matt drowned in a row boat accident. Knowing of Matt's fear of water, Jack learns from the boat's owner, Doughty, that Matt killed himself as he had stolen union funds to support his mistress Thelma, who is now dating Harry. Harry has taken photographs of Doughty's smuggling activities with which to blackmail him but Jack steals them and sells them to Doughty, who runs Harry out of town after beating him up. Jack also burns Matt's love letters to Thelma to convince Sarah that her late husband was not unfaithful.
