...Shulamite" is Deborah Krillet, the young wife of a sternly religious old Boer farmer, who demands patriarchal obedience from his household and enforces it with the lash. Deborah escapes a flogging with a lie concerning her condition. Later she is forced to tell the truth, and her husband resolves to kill her. The young English overseer, who is in love with Deborah, saves her by shooting her husband. In the last act, in spite of a wife in England, and a too curious relative of the dead man, matters are straightened out and the curtain falls upon a happy future...
