Victor McLaglen as Squire "Red" Will Danaher. Barry Fitzgerald as Michaeleen "Óge" Flynn. Rather than seeing their friends go, Father Lonergan, hiding his priest’s collar, leads the village in a cheer for the visiting Church of Ireland bishop, too. Playfair has earlier revealed to Sean that his church will probably be transferring him and Mrs Playfair, both lifelong residents, due to his shrinking congregation. Sean, Mary Kate, and the villagers wave to them as they pass, before Sean and Mary Kate playfully chase each other across the fields back to the cottage. The next day, a humbled Will and the Widow Tillane begin their own courtship, and they ride out of the village side by side in a jaunting car driven by Michaeleen. Later, the reconciled and obviously inebriated brothers-in-law sing as they stagger arm-in-arm back to Sean and Mary Kate's home for supper, much to Mary Kate's amusement and delight. Sean in turn ends the fight by hitting Will so hard he falls back, crashes through the bar's front door, and ends up lying unconscious in the street. As they argue over who will pay for the drinks, Will tosses a brew into Sean's face. The fighters finally pause for a drink inside Cohan's Bar, where they begrudgingly admit a mutual respect for one another. This much-anticipated brawl attracts more and more spectators as it continues for miles across countryside and village. She proudly leaves for home, but a humiliated Will takes a swing at Sean, only to be knocked down by his defensive counter-punch.Ī donnybrook ensues, then evolves into a long Homeric fistfight between only Sean and Will after they agree to adhere to the Marquess of Queensberry rules – right before Will kicks Sean in the jaw. Sean immediately burns it in the boiler, abetted by Mary Kate, showing that it was not the money but her husband's courage and brother's respect she wanted all along. The ultimatum shocks both Mary Kate and Will, who finally pays the 350 pounds. When Will refuses, Sean throws Mary Kate back at her brother, declaring "no fortune, no marriage" (which is their custom, not his). There, Sean confronts Will and demands the dower-money. Followed by a growing crowd of villagers, Sean forces Mary Kate to walk with him the five miles (8 km) back to the Danaher farm. Sean soon learns from Michaeleen where she is, races his horse to the train station, and pulls her off the train. However, the next morning, Mary Kate quietly leaves their cottage to board a train for Dublin, hoping this will spur Sean to action, though she does not actually want to leave. She and Sean partially reconcile that night, and they share the bedroom for the first time since their marriage. Mary Kate also confesses her part in the quarrel to Father Lonergan, who berates her for her selfishness. Sean had sworn to give up fighting out of fear and guilt over the manslaughter, since the other man had a wife and children and was younger than him. Cyril Playfair, who also is a former boxer, that he once accidentally killed an opponent in the ring. However, Sean reveals to the local Protestant Minister, Rev. Sean's refusal to fight her brother is attributed to cowardice by Mary Kate. The morning after their wedding, villagers arrive at the couple's cottage with Mary Kate's furniture, having persuaded Will to release it, but they could not convince him to pay the dower-money. She insists that the dowry must be received to validate their marriage, causing an estrangement between her and Sean. Sean, unschooled in Irish customs, professes no interest in obtaining the dowry but to Mary Kate, the dowry represents her personal value to the community and her freedom. He gleefully allows the marriage, but he refuses to give Mary Kate her dowry when he finds he was deceived. Some village residents-including Father Peter Lonergan and local matchmaker-cum- bookmaker Michaeleen Óge Flynn-trick Will Danaher into believing that Widow Tillane will marry him if Mary Kate is no longer under his roof. Will then retaliates by refusing consent for Sean to marry his sister. Will also wants to buy the Thornton family's old cottage and land, and is angered when the property's current owner, the wealthy Widow Tillane, accepts Sean's bid instead of his offer. 
Shortly after arriving, he meets and falls in love with fiery, red-headed Mary Kate Danaher, the sister of bullying Squire "Red" Will Danaher. In the 1920s, Sean "Trooper Thorn" Thornton, an Irish-born retired boxer from Pittsburgh, travels to his birthplace of Inisfree to purchase the old family farm.
