In the quaint town of Little Peddlington, a peculiar incident unfolds. The esteemed Mr. Bunthorne, a renowned poet, arrives to wed the beautiful Patience. However, his plans are thrown into disarray when the entire male population of the town, led by the eccentric Archibald Grosvenor, vows to remain bachelors. As the wedding day approaches, a battle of wits ensues, with the bachelors determined to thwart Bunthorne's romantic aspirations. Amidst the chaos, a mysterious stranger emerges, claiming to be the long-lost love of Patience. Will true love prevail, or will the town's vow of celibacy stand firm?
