Kuolemaan tuomittu

A proud landowner, Sir John Cochrane, broods on his rugged coastal estate when an armed Highlander urges him to lead a rising against a cruel king. He refuses, torn between patriotic impulse and duty to family and property, and reproves the soldier's zeal as reckless. Tensions of honor, sacrifice and leadership build until a desperate stratagem and a bold revelation disclose his daughter Griselda as the savior who secures relief from condemned sentences, reunites the household, and brings a painful reconciliation that resolves the family's trials.
