En la segunda, adaptación de la obra teatral de Martin J. McHugh "A Minute's Wait", se retrata el lento ritmo de la vida irlandesa utilizando como metáfora el sistemático retraso de un tren. La tercera, según un relato de Lady Gregroy, "The Rising of the Moon", trata la historia de un patriota irlandés que va a ser ejecutado.
