A sparkling, witty comedy of manners built on clever wordplay and romantic entanglement, where mistaken identities and social pretense lead to joyful resolution.

Two young gentlemen living in 1890s England use the same pseudonym ('Ernest') on the sly, which is fine until they both fall in love with women using that name, which leads to a comedy of mistaken identities.
