In an ahistorical Persia, Aglaura and Prince Thersames love one another, but the King also desires her. Court intrigues and mistaken identity lead to a tragic ending in the original version; Suckling also supplied an alternative tragicomic ending.
In the mythical kingdom of Francelia, Tamoren leads a band of robbers who disguise themselves as devils and unsettle the country with pranks and rough justice. The plot also weaves in rival noble families, while the lively play draws on romance, action, songs, dances, and a comic subplot.
