Synopsis: The adventure of Richard Dudgeon, the black sheep of the Dudgeon family of New England in pre-Revolutionary days, who returns for the reading of his uncle's will. Richard, disgusted with the hypocrisy of his neighbor Puritans, has sworn allegiance to the devil, both in this world and the one to come. Hating sentimentality and denying romance, he still permits the British Redcoats, come to arrest Pastor Anderson, to take him by mistake, over the protest of pretty Judith Anderson, the pastor's wife. He is ready to be hung for a spy in the pastor's place, to the glory of a courageous martyrdom and as an example to his snivelling relatives, when his reprieve arrives.
