The villagers of Ploverleigh have gathered to celebrate the betrothal of Alexis Poindexter (Jeff Hooyman), the son of Sir Marmaduke (Keli Wood), to Aline (Erin Vanderholm), the only daughter of Lady Sangazure (Tammy Pogue.) Giddy in love, Alexis decides that it would be nice if they (and indeed all the other unmarried villagers) could experience the feelings of true love that they themselves have. Alexis calls in the services of a Sorcerer, John Wellington Wells (David “DK” Kay), who produces a philtre (love potion) which, when drunk, ensures that everyone will experience the secret of pure love and happiness. Complications ensue.
