On the evening of George's wedding to wealthy Arabella, the Vicar loses all his money through the bankruptcy of his merchant investor who has left town abruptly.

The rest of the family moves to a new and more humble parish on the land of Squire Thornhill, a womanizer. On the way, they hear about the dubious reputation of their new landlord. The squire's uncle is Sir William Thornhill, who is known throughout the country for his worthiness and generosity…
