A brief synopsis of the action of the play is as follows: Sir Arthur Clare forbids his daughter, Millicent, to marry the lover of her childhood, Raymond Mounchensey because the latter has had a reversal of fortune and picks out Frank Jerningham as a better match. Jerningham is, however, a true friend of Raymond and, when Millicent is sent to a convent to forget her old love, aids Mounchensey in his attempts to steal the girl away. The merry Devil confounds the pursuing father in the forest and thus helps the young couple to escape. Forgiveness and marriage bring the episode to a close. Though the devil hardly comes into contact with the characters he is, nevertheless, the controlling force throughout the play.
