An artist falls in love with a Somerset farmer's daughter but she refuses to marry him until her father is financially secure. The artist tumbles into the farm's cavernous well and on his perilous climb out discovers a secret passage to a neighbouring abbey and a treasure trove. All ends happily, even with the rival neighbouring farmer who had tried to ensure his death so he could marry Bessie. (PB)
