Morrice Buckler is a young man of good family, but with no money. He is determined to make his own way in the world, and so sets out to find a wealthy wife.

He arranges a series of tests for Morrice, which he must pass in order to win Lady Mary's hand. Morrice must prove his worth by succeeding in a series of tasks, including a dangerous hunt, a tournament, and a duel.
