Directing
Sam, a sheep-driver, arranges a village concert to raise funds for a seaside restaurant, and saves a young girl who is carried out to sea by the current and is stranded on Devil's Rock.
This was the first indigenous Irish sound film. "The film is a close and expert study of the people of Ireland, completely devoid of anything that savours of the stage Irishman... [A] non-sectarian, non-political picture which comprises the art, commerce, industry, entertainment, sport, and scenic beauty of the Green Isle'.
'The story of an Irishman's attempts to save his ancestral home through the fortunes of his racehorse.' (Northern Ireland Screen Digital Film Archive)
