After refusing his employer's impious advances, Joseph is thrown out and before long his bad luck continues and he is beaten by a gang of highway men and left for dead. He finally reunites with Parson Adams (Michael Hordern) and Fanny and the virtuous trio get into a surprising number of increasingly bizarre scrapes. Meanwhile, the insatiable Lady Booby, scheming to ensure that the marriage of the young couple never occurs, has Fanny framed and arrested for robbery.
