As the Racket marriage sours, each spouse tries to provoke the other’s jealousy, while the scheming Ranter pursues Caroline. Colonel Duncan misreads an encounter and intervenes; Ranter’s deceptions and the return of Duncan’s long-lost son ultimately resolve the romantic and family confusions.
Dunlap reworks his tragedy André as a patriotic play centered on the ordinary American people. The action includes the capture of British officer John André by local militiamen during the Revolutionary War.
