7—' Strange Events in Albany '
Produced by James Crampsey
Having taken part in the Rebellion of 1745 James Durie , the Master of Ballantrae, loses his title to his younger brother Henry who also marries the lady the Master intended to make his wife. The feud between the brothers becomes so deadly that Henry, now Lord Durrisdeer, secretly leaves Scotland for America taking his wife with him. The Master discovers where his brother has gone and follows to New York. He has two objects in view: first, to obtain revenge on his brother, and second, to regain the treasure that he had hidden in the forests near Albany after the Jacobite Rebellion. In New York Lord Durrisdeer refuses to finance the treasure-hunting expedition. The Master, thus frustrated, determines to compass his brother's ruin. In a last effort to avert a family tragedy Ephraim Mackellar , the old Scots steward to the Durrisdeer estate, goes to see the Master and offers the loan of his life-savings.
