It follows two English Army officers—the womanizing Captain Plume and the cowardly Captain Brazen—as they recruit soldiers in Shrewsbury. Their military mission becomes entangled with romantic pursuits and social schemes. Sylvia disguises herself as a male recruit to be near Plume, while Worthy attempts to win back the now-wealthy Melinda. Through mistaken identities, dubious recruiting tactics, and romantic rivalries, the play weaves together the complications of love and ambition in this Restoration comedy.
