Synopsis
Angleterre, 1673. John Reid écrit ses mémoires : Lors de la révolution anglaise, il a onze ans lorsque les Doone, seigneurs d'Exeter pour lesquels travaille son père métayer, se voient confisquer leurs terres par le nouveau roi Charles II, à la suite de la mort de Cromwell, qu'ils soutenaient lors du conflit. Les Reid et tous les fermiers de la région se réjouissent de ces sanctions car les Doone sont cruels ; ils refusent désormais de continuer à leur payer des impôts. Les Doone ne l'entendent pas de cette oreille, et tuent le père de John Reid. L'enfant jure de se venger, et le fait savoir aux fils Doone et à leur cousine, Lorna (enfants tout comme lui) quand il les rencontre pour la première fois. Devenu adulte, John Reid, outré par les lourdes taxes sur les cultures imposés par les Doone, prend la tête d'une révolte.Actors

This romance is set in Tyrol, western Austria. Previously filmed in 1928, the sentimental Margaret Kennedy novel The Constant Nymph was sumptuously remade by Gaumont-British Picture Corporation in 1933. Victoria Hopper plays the title character, a rich, Belgian gamine named Tessa Sanger. The girl falls hopelessly in love with world-famous composer Lewis Dodd (Brian Aherne), who is so full of himself that he barely acknowledges Tessa's existence. As she looks on in quiet desperation, Dodd marries another woman, his distant cousin Florence (Leonora Corbett). It takes him nearly the entire picture to realize what a fool he's been, and that Tessa was the one girl for him all along—but alas, it's too late. The Constant Nymph was remade by Warner Bros. in 1943, at which time all prints of the 1933 version were supposed to be destroyed, however, several prints did survive.

Led by Captain Collyer (Roy Emerton), a detachment of Royal Navy tax and revenue officers arrive in the village of Dymchurch on Romney Marsh. The area is notorious for liquor-smuggling and they are on the trail of the culprits. They find a village of apparently honest, pious and simple folk, looked after benevolently by their philanthropic vicar Doctor Syn (Arliss). However Syn is in fact the leader of the smugglers of the parish, using his cover as a man of the cloth to run a profitable ring whose dividends are used to better the lives of the local community. Collyer gradually comes to suspect what is going on, and a series of chases and confrontations takes place across the marshes with Syn and the smugglers always managing narrowly to outwit their pursuers. Collyer finally discovers that Syn is in fact none other than the notorious pirate Captain Clegg, thought to have been executed many years earlier. Still one step ahead, Syn destroys all incriminating evidence and he and his men make their escape.
