On her mother's death she is faced with the unhappy news that she can no longer live at the Castle, which in fact, becomes tenanted by a Major Verity. Bitterly disappointed, Phil decides to live alone in a little house and make money on horses. Disaster follows disaster at "Phil's Castle", and Phil is faced not only with poverty, but also with being suspected of stealing a wonderful emerald belonging to Mrs. Van Ryan, a rich American's wife. The story of how Phil struggles on, saves Van Ryan from gangsters, is proposed to, but refuses riches is a delightful one. In the end Paul Verity, the tenant of Castle Fagan who loves her, is left hoping that one day Phil will come back to her own castle.
