The story opens on a war-torn rooftop in Dublin during the early days of the Irish Civil War. The Republican sniper lies crouched, tired and hungry, but alert. He eats a sandwich, sips whiskey, and lights a cigarette despite knowing it might give away his position.
Soon a bullet whistles past him from a rooftop across the street — his hidden enemy sniper has located him. An armoured car appears; an old woman’s betrayal helps the car’s gunner spot the sniper’s position. The sniper fires and kills both the man in the turret and the informant.
But then the sniper is struck in the forearm, his rifle becomes unusable. He uses his wit to fool the enemy: he places his cap on the rifle, lets it fall, feigns death, and when his opponent steps into view, he fires his revolver and kills him.
