The story

The Majesty of the Law Police Inspector Dillon reluctantly sets out walking through the countryside to see an old friend, Dan O'Flaherty. Along the way, he encounters Mickey J., a poitín maker (bootlegger) who is not Dillon's target, but accompanies Dillon to O'Flaherty's stone cottage where Dillon serves O'Flaherty a warrant for striking Phelim O'Feeney. While they are all congenially drinking and socializing inside O'Flaherty's cottage, O'Flaherty refuses to pay the fine.
