Donald Davoren and Seamas Shields are roommates in a Dunblin tenement. For no particular reason Donald is looked upon by the other residents of the tenement as a gunman in the service of the Irish Republican Party, but he is merely a dreaming poet who rather enjoys the mystery that has built up around him.

But the deed is discovered and Minnie, trying to resist arrest, is shot.(
