The action takes place in and around the mansion of Sir Marmaduke Pointdextre
whose son, Alexis, has become engaged to Aline, the daughter of Lady Sangazure.
It is also clear that Sir Marmaduke has aspirations towards Lady Sangazure.
Meanwhile Constance, the daughter of Mrs Partlet -an assistant at the village
church - holds unrequited love for Dr Daly the somewhat elderly bachelor vicar
of the village.
Alexis is something of an idealist who believes that marriage should be for love and not for class or station. He has arranged for John Wellington Wells, the local Family Sorcerer, to prepare a love potion which will be given to all the villagers at the wedding feast.
