- In 1876 Pennsylvania, a group of Irish immigrant coal miners begin to retaliate against the cruelty of their work environment.
- Some thirty years ago there existed among the anthracite coal miners of Northeast Pennsylvania a secret organization known as the Molly Maguires. Taking the name from a secret political society of Ireland, it spread rapidly over the entire anthracite country and soon succeeded in obtaining a general ascendancy in the councils of the miners. The region was divided into districts, each under the sole command of a chief official known as a "body master." A general strike was successful and many of the hardships of the mining system wiped out. But in a few years the organization fell into the hands of a band of desperate leaders who used their power over the simple miner folks for their own selfish ends. Strikes were ordered by them on the slightest excuse. Soon a species of terrorism existed throughout the entire region. But the arrest and execution of a number of the most criminal leaders broke the power of the "Mollies" over the miners. In the stirring scenes about to be shown you is told a story of human suffering, endurance and heroism among these simple miner people. Scene 1. Death Visits Miner Anderson's House. Scene 2.
