Synopsis: The play begins on Halloween, when the Queen of the Faeries kidnaps the handsome young heir of the house of Roxbrugh to be her love-slave, to the great annoyance of her elven knights Thompson, Sullivan and MacDougal, and the grief of Tam Lin's grandmother Lady Roxbrugh. Seven years later, Janet, of the rival house of Dunbar, runs away from home to escape the marriage her father has arranged for her with his ally Lord Aberdeen. Janet meets Tam Lin in the forest of Carterhaugh. Inflamed by his beauty and determined to make herself less marriageable, she offers herself to him. Afterwards he urges her to leave Carterhaugh to avoid the wrath of the Faerie Queen. While Janet is in Carterhaugh, her lady-in-waiting Margaret, who has long loved the dashing and famous Aberdeen from afar, cannot resist the impulse to masquerade as Janet in order to be with him. When Janet and Margaret develop morning sickness, Janet knows she must return to Carterhaugh on Halloween to battle the Queen of the Faeries for the fate of Tam Lin.
