The widow has an admirer in the person of Major Lee, a wealthy bachelor. He does not make much progress in his suit, however, until he discovers the widow's passionate love of music. One day while passing the village blacksmith shop, he hears the young blacksmith singing. The Major bribes him to serenade the widow every evening, after which the Major goes in and reaps the laurels. After this his progress is rapid. Mary discovers the deception, but does not betray the Major. She meets the musical blacksmith, however, and they fall in love. The conspiracy is almost successful, but disaster overtakes them on the night that the Major is to propose. He instructs John, the blacksmith, to be on band promptly at eight that night, but John, in the company of his sweetheart, forgets, and is late. Meanwhile the Major has arrived, and after fuming awhile at John's delinquency, decides to trust to past performances and goes in to propose. John and Mary arrive immediately afterward and John, thinking he has beaten the Major after all, and expecting him any moment, begins to sing. The Major, however, is on his knees pouring out his love for the widow. He starts up in consternation and horror. The widow comprehends the deception, rushes out and captures John, who is innocently singing with Mary in his arms. She upbraids them all and breaks down and weeps. They soothe her and the Major explains that it was his great love for her which led to the deception. She finally becomes mollified, weeps on his shoulder, and everyone is happy.
