Captain Boycott

Set in 19th-century Ireland, the story follows poverty-stricken tenants who have been dispossessed by greedy landowner Captain Charles Boycott. Led by patriotic farmer Hugh Davin, the tenants band together to assert their rights. They adopt a strategy of nonviolent resistance, ostracizing their nemesis. Boycott then squanders his fortune in an attempt to repair his ruined reputation and wagers what is left on a horse race.
