Wrestling Bradford should have married Plentiful Tewke. Her father, Praise-God Tewke, told him so in the first act, set in front of a log-cabin church. But Plentiful (Contralto Gladys Swarthout) wanted to take a maiden's time and Wrestling was impatient. Pretty Marigold Sandys (Goeta Ljungberg) came to Quincy with the giddy Cavaliers. They were bent on building a Maypole, dancing on the Holy Sabbath, an offense not half so shocking to Wrestling Bradford as the fact that Marigold intended to marry Sir Gower Lackland (Tenor Edward Johnson).

The hero is Wrestling Bradford, a young Puritan clergyman darkly obsessed with the beauty of Lady Marigold, fiancee of gay Sir Gower Lackland. While Wrestling is wrestling with his soul, Sir Gower and his sinful kind are having one of their maypole dances on Merry Mount. Later Sir Gower is killed outright by a Puritan. The village is attacked by Indians and the love-distracted Wrestling accuses Lady Marigold of witchcraft. As she is about...
