About this time two sailors, in a different location, have got into an argument and the one who masters the other, fearing he has ended his life, dashes away. He flies from this place to the blacksmith's cottage to ask his sister's aid. When he makes himself known to her their salutation is one of affection and it is at this time that the gossip uses her knowledge and hastens to the blacksmith's shop. Without hesitation he goes to his cottage and peers in the window. What he sees does not reassure him. His wife is caressing the sailor, and after giving him money, leads him from the house. The smithy follows at a safe distance and sees them enter an old shack. Waiting until his wife takes leave of the man, he is about to enter, but changes his mind and goes off hurriedly. Ere long he returns with staples, and without listening to the sailor's explanation, fastens him to the door. Well satisfied with his act be goes in search of his wife to show her the sorry plight of her companion. When she discovers what her husband has done she is overcome with grief. The smithy's revenge is not yet complete; he sets fire to the shack. His wife tries her best to make him understand that the man he is torturing is her brother. Eventually it enters his brain that she is telling him the truth and he tears down the door and saves the sailor from the flames. Carrying the door to the shop he releases his wife's brother and supports him to the cottage, where forgiveness is asked and granted, and all resume their happy ways.
