A light hearted romp from old England to the New World. A classical bad character trying to reform who only needs to help of a good woman. Lord Johnny is the scourge of Europe and authorities have attempted to hang him twice, but his devil-may-care attitude has made him a hero to both gentry and rabble. Of course he escapes, but not before becoming the groom of an aristocratic lady who needs to get rid of her debts. A love story in a swashbuckling setting.
