The comedy tells the story of two young gentleman, Archer and Aimwell, who, having extravagantly lost all of their wealth, roam 18th century England from town to town on the hunt for heiresses that can restore their fortunes by taking turns posing as master and servant. Upon arriving in Lichfield, Archer and Aimwell set their sights on Kate & Dorinda, the beautiful daughter-in-law and daughter of Lady Bountiful. However, many obstacles arise during their quest including that Aimwell has truly fallen in love, Kate is unhappily married to a drunken squire who hates her, the saucy daughter of the innkeeper has her eyes on Archer, Lady Bountiful believes herself to be a healer of the sick, and a band of highwaymen plan to rob her house that very evening.
