The main characters include Lady Bab Lacy, a wealthy aristocrat, and her daughter, Lady Caroline, who is engaged to marry the son of a wealthy merchant, Mr. St. Aubyn. However, the engagement is complicated by the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Dabb, a working-class couple who claim to be Mr. St. Aubyn's long-lost parents. As the two families interact, misunderstandings and miscommunications abound, leading to a series of comedic situations and misunderstandings.
