In 15th century Scotland, a young knight, Lochinvar, was betrothed from birth to Cecilia, daughter of Johnstone of Lockwood. Helen is betrothed to Musgrave, a man she does not love.

Helen doesn't want to marry Musgrave, and as the date of her wedding draws near she sends a message to Lochinvar to help her.[3]

Lochinvar arrives at Helen's wedding, asking for a dance. He sweeps her off her feet and onto his horse, and rides away with her. The couple are married at Lochinvar's home.
