O'Reilly Castle, set on a small Irish isle, is occupied by the family of Wee Lady Betty (Love) for generations. However, when the actual owner of the castle dies, the ownership is transferred to his heir, Roger O'Reilly (Borzage). Betty briefly tricks the new owner into thinking that the castle is haunted, in an attempt to scare him away, but he falls in love with her.[4][5][6]
