A rollicking, fun send up of the Victorian romanticism of love. Courted by all the young ladies, the seemingly dashing and brooding poet, Reginald Bunthorne only has eyes for Patience, the simple milkmaid, who in turn only has eyes for the poet Archibald Grosvenor. Oh, and the army shows up to marry all the single women, but find their prospects dashed! The lessons of the pain and passion of True Love are shared with all, while everyone ends up with a suitable partner.
