Set in late 18th century Europe the adventures and misadventures of a minor member of the Irish gentry trying to better himself. Redmond Barry of Bally Barry is a clever young man, who learns the manners of a gentleman.

He reaches the pinnacle of worldly success by marriage to an English heiress, but disastrously squanders her fortune and good will.
