In eighteenth-century Bath, a young Frenchman known as Monsieur Beaucaire, supposedly a barber, catches the Duke of Winterset cheating at cards and forces him into a bargain: introduce him to society as the Duc de Chateaurien. Beaucaire wins the admiration of Bath and the heart of Lady Mary Carlisle, but English snobbery is waiting for him.
