As the first professionally produced comedy by an American citizen, it satirizes Americans who embrace British fashions and customs over homegrown values. The plot centers on Maria Van Rough, promised to the Anglophile dandy Billy Dimple, who secretly pursues two other women while she finds herself drawn to the honorable patriot Colonel Manly. Through sharp wit and contrasting characters, Tyler explores the clash between European sophistication and American authenticity in the young nation.
