Neither of you shall ever darken my doors again.
- [Narrator] Into the mix, an heiress comes, her fortune very grand.
Her suitors left and right compete to try to win her hand.
But her heart belongs to a secret love, and to no other man.
We are forbidden from seeing each other.

- What about what I want?
- [Narrator] But wait, what's this, the heiress gone, spirited away?
Her riches, a temptation, seems she's met with some foul play.

Can they save the day?

The final ball, the final dance, who knows what may transpire?
Whose sparks of passion build to light a roaring, blazing... - Fire!
Fire!
- Oh, for god's sake, Tom, tell me the work is insured.
- I will see you in the debtor's prison.
- I have to do everything I can to help the family.
- [Narrator] And now it seems our Sidney must leave his Charlotte's side.
To save the town, he takes a wealthy widow for his bride.
And for poor Charlotte, all that's left is a lonely carriage ride.
But fear not, gentle viewer, the story does not cease.
