Right from the start, we realise that "Sir Charles Hawksley - aka "Craven"" (Leslie Perrins) is a bit of a bounder. Now that the Napoleonic wars are all but over, he is intent on returning home leaving "Toinette" (Mary Lawson) in the lurch. Luckily for her, gallant "Maj.

Back in Britain with the war now ended, we discover that our protagonist is at it again - this time forcing the rather incompetent gambler "Merrall" (Charles Carson) to the brink of homelessness and bankruptcy. His price? Well he gets to marry his daughter "Lucy" (Winifred Shotter). Reluctantly, she agrees - but a chance encounter with the reputable "Peel" - who's has the odd scrape himself since returning - might just offer her a way out! It's a competently strung togeth
