Sally, a country lass, is in distress because Thomas, the man of her heart, is about to depart on a long sea voyage. After the lovers have tearfully said goodbye, the Squire appears; he has long been infatuated with Sally, and now sees the opportunity to press his case. Encouraged by Dorcas, he approaches Sally, only to be rebuffed. Seeing this approach has been unsuccessful, Dorcas tries from another angle; she suggests to Sally that she should celebrate her youth while she can! However, Sally still proves loyal to Thomas. But the Squire and Dorcas persist, and just as they seem about to be successful, Thomas arrives, just in time to reduce Sally from the Squire’s attentions
