Plot

�It was a dark and stormy night �� Paul Clifford leads a double life. By day he is a fashionable man about town, the toast of genteel society. By night, he is �Captain Lovett�, a dashing masked highwayman, robbing unsuspecting travellers on moonlit roads with his band of fellow brigands. When Clifford falls in love with the beautiful, auburn-haired Lucy, the daughter of a wealthy squire, he wonders if he should abandon his life of vice. But there are many obstacles in his path: his sly love rival Lord Mauleverer, dark secrets from the past, and the threat of the hangman�s noose �
