A group of hooded men, led by Henry of Gault, are raiding the village at night, and a visiting guest is actually a spy for John Mullens. Eleanor runs away rather than go through with the wedding, and is found by Lady Elizabeth, who persuades the girl to return home. Sir Thomas calls off the wedding and is challenged to a duel with Henry of Gault. John Mullens plans a trap for Sir Thomas, who believes he is riding into an honorable fight. Eleanor finds out their guest's evil secret, and sets off with her brothers in tow for John Mullen's castle. The villagers capture Henry and the hooded men, and Sir Thomas defeats, but does not kill Henry.
