Young Marlow is sent by his father to court the daughter of his old friend, Mr. Hardcastle. Marlow has spent very little time in the company of the fair sex, and as a consequence thereof is always shy and nervous in their presence. He, therefore, accepts his father's orders unwillingly and accompanied by his friend, young Hastings, rides out to meet his future bride. On the road the travelers meet Hardcastle's stepson, Tony Lumpkin, who, in revenge for a punishment his stepfather has inflicted, directs Marlow and his friend to the Hardcastle mansion, claiming that it is an inn where they will be well treated. In the meantime, great preparations are being made at the Hardcastle home for the reception of the son of Hardcastle's old friend, and when Tony ushers in young Marlow, thinking Hardcastle merely the proprietor of the inn, he treats him with scant courtesy and orders him about, much to the older man's chagrin. Hardcastle has objected to his daughter's extravagant costumes, and she appears on this memorable evening dressed in a simple dress and wearing the cap and apron that housewives in the neighborhood assume. This costume greatly pleases her father, but lends young Marlow further astray. He immediately jumps at the conclusion that she is a most attractive barmaid and loses his heart to her in short order. Upon the arrival of his father Marlow learns his mistake as regards the inn question, but flatly refuses to marry Hardcastle's daughter, claiming that she is too grand for him, and citing his preference for the maidservant. While in the act of making love to the supposed barmaid he is discovered by his father and when told that this is the young lady his father had intended him to marry, he is overjoyed, as he feels sure that his bashful disposition would never have allowed him to woo and win her had he known her to be a lady of fashion.
