Small town locals gossip about the mad behaviour of a reclusive old woman who lives on the town's outskirts. A young man, intrigued, sets out in a spirit of bravado to solve the mystery. However, he is chastened when the poor old woman invites him in and he learns that she keens in grief every night for her seven sons, all of whom were killed in action.
