In 1915 France, Major Brand commands the 39th Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps. The young airmen go up in bullet-riddled "crates" and the casualty rate is appalling, but Brand can't make the "brass hats" at headquarters see reason. Insubordinate air ace Captain Courtney is another thorn in Brand's side...but finds the smile wiped from his face when he rises to command the squadron himself. Everyone keeps a stiff upper lip.—Rod Crawford

Rathbarney is a typical small Irish town inhabited with a bunch of eccentrics, including a few leprechauns and a ghost, who all live in general harmony with each other, mostly at the local pub, The O'Leary Arms named after one of the leading families of the town. For sixty years, wealthy aged General O'Leary has led the jump "over the wall" during the annual fox hunt. This year's jump proves to be the last for the General, who on his deathbed makes some last minute vocal bequeathals not listed in his will, including forgiving all debts owed to him. His will leaves his entire estate to his only living relative, his great nephew Jasper O'Leary, who he's never met and who has never stepped foot in Rathbarney. The townsfolk welcome Jasper to Rathbarney with open arms as a relative of the beloved General, but that changes when they discover Jasper's nature as a fortune hunter. Jasper openly states that he plans to collect on all outstanding debts immediately with exorbitant interest added, will not pay any debts the estate owes unless there is written proof, both which in combination will financially ruin many townsfolk, and cancels any gentlemen's agreements the General would have made. What Jasper doesn't publicly announce is that he plans to squeeze whatever he can out of the estate only to leave town for good, he not caring about its resultant state in that squeeze. The one person who is drawn to Jasper is recently widowed Serena McGlusky, a gold-digger who only just returned to town. Serena has long raised the ire of her siblings, especially sister Kathy McGlusky, for Serena having strung along Dr. Michael Flynn, who she never had any intention of marrying and who Kathy herself loves. Michael still cannot see past Serena's flirts to see her scheming nature. Serena sees in Jasper a now wealthy kindred spirit, Jasper in turn who can lavish her in his financial windfall. The rest of the townsfolk, however, believe they have to figure out a way to rid the proverbial fox from their hen house forever, which may all come to a head on what is called O'Leary Night, when the ghost, an ancestor of the General, is said to roam the halls of the O'Leary mansion.—Huggo

The office of mining engineers and partners Larkin Moffatt and Charlie Storrs is robbed. Storrs accuses Moffatt of complicity with the robbers and fires him. He also asks all major mining companies in the region to avoid hiring Moffatt. Unemployable, Moffatt opens his own small independent assay office in Silver City. His first client, Candace Surrency, leases a mine from the greedy R. R. Jarboe, owner of several mines. Candace Surrency and her father have invested all their funds in the mine lease which is due to expire in 12 days, reverting the mining rights back to its owner, R. R. Jarboe. So far the mine has been dry but the Surrencys have hired Moffatt to do another assay on the latest batch of ore. Moffatt finds silver in large amounts in the test batch, making the Surrencys rich. News of their silver strike spreads fast. Mine owner R. R. Jarboe refuses to extend the mine lease to the Surrencys who won't have enough time to extract and process the silver ore during the remainder of the lease. R. R. Jarboe is sure to benefit from the silver strike once the mine reverts to him. Desperate, the Surrencys ask Moffatt to become the mine's foreman and use his expertise to extract and process the silver ore within the remaining 12 days of lease rights. Aware of R. R. Jarboe's power Moffatt refuses to get involved but changes his mind when noticing Jarboe's ruthless sabotage tactics against the Surrencys. Moffatt and Candace Surrency fall in-love. Unfortunately, Moffatt's old boss and former partner Charlie Storrs shows up in town to buy this particular mine from owner R. R. Jarboe.—nufs68
