Synopsis
After the death of his wife in childbirth, Sir Jeoffrey Wildairs refuses to see his two daughters. Six years later, he is delighted to learn that the high spirited little girl he has just met is his younger child, Clorinda, whom he decides to rear as a man both in dress and demeanor. Sir John Oxen, a notorious womanizer, sees the beautiful grown Clorinda and wagers that he will seduce her. The kindly Duke of Osmonde meanwhile appeals to a clergyman to help to change Clorinda, and through his efforts she decides to become feminine. She is charmed by Sir John, who cuts a lock of her hair as proof that he has won the wager, and then Clorinda, angered at his duplicity, marries the elderly Earl of Dunstanwolde. After his death two years later, Clorinda is courted by the Duke, but Sir John threatens to expose their liaison. Furious, Clorinda strikes him with her riding crop, accidentally killing him. After hiding the body, a guilt-ridden Clorinda then travels through London helping women whom Sir John had abused. Finally, her tearful confession to her sister Anne is overheard by the Duke who then proposes.
