The Relapse has two plots, the first concerns Loveless, a reformed libertine who has been living in the country with his wife Amanda. When the couple return to London, Loveless, true to the title, relapses and pursues his wife's friend, a beautiful and buxom widow, Berinthia. Worthy, a former lover of Berinthia, tries to seduce Loveless' wife, Amanda, by telling Amanda of her husband's infidelity. Worthy fails and Amanda proves herself a loyal wife to an undeserving husband. The second plot has more comedy as it concerns the marital exploits of the newly ennobled Lord Foppington a Beau of the first rank but rather dim and very vain. The former Sir Novelty Fashion has purchased his peerage and is now looking for an heiress to make his wife. His younger brother, Tom Fashion needs an heiress' money, impersonates his own brother and marries in secret by deception, Hoyden, Sir Tunbelly Clumsy's daughter . When Lord Foppington arrives to woo his bride, he is accused of being an imposter and treated very badly by the country bumpkin, Sir Tunbelly's army of roughs until he is identified by a neighbour. The sub plot almost becomes the more important part of The Relapse, and is certainly the more entertaining.
