Synopsis

The plot centres on the two young lovers, Lydia and Jack.

Lydia, who reads a lot of popular novels of the time, wants a purely romantic love affair.

To court her, Jack pretends to be "Ensign Beverley", a poor army officer.

Lydia is enthralled with the idea of eloping with a poor soldier in spite of the objections of her guardian, Mrs. Malaprop, a moralistic widow.
