action

The Englishman Grandison is appointed Justice of the Peace in Ireland by the British . His wife Gloria is Irish and supports her countrymen wherever she can. However, due to his luxurious lifestyle, her husband has got himself into debt and financially in a hopeless situation. That's why he takes out a high level of insurance for his ship, which he then sinks. Then he also has his accomplice and confidante, the beach bailiff Thripp, eliminated.

When the Irish baron Sir John Ennis of Loweland returned to Ireland after many years, he met like-minded patriots in the union of the ribbon men to stand up for the rights of the Irish. He also meets Gloria, the wife of the justice of the peace. When the unscrupulous Grandison learns that his wife is being worshiped by Sir John Ennis, he decides to blame him and the tapemen for the sinking of his ship and the murder of the beach bailiff, and thus to get them out of the way. The baron knows how to defend himself against the justice of the peace.

Temporal classification and criticism

The Fox of Glenarvon is based on the novel of the same name by Nicola Rhon , with Ireland and the Irish struggle for freedom only serving as "the background to an interesting private affair".
