My Uncle Benjamin
Even though Benjamin is head over heels in love with Manette, the gorgeous daughter of the innkeeper's wealthy family, Manette has no intention of giving in to the young doctor until she sees the wedding contract, and marriage does not fit in with Benjamin's attitude of independence. He also opposes his sister Bettine's attempts to arrange for him to be married to Arabelle, the daughter of the elderly Dr. Minxit. Benjamin agrees to meet with the young lady in person.. Manette has been caught by her father and is being held at the inn, where his sister discovers him that night. As a result, she chooses to accompany Benjamin herself. A confrontation with the corpulent Marquis, on the other hand, puts an end to the mission. In a humiliating practical prank, Benjamin is subjected to by the Marquis. Benjamin is adamant about getting his retaliatory action.. He is successful in part because of the beautiful Vicomte Hector de Pont-Cassé, who also assists Manette in her battle with her abusive father. But now the Marquis has taken Benjamin into custody.
