The sculptor Pygmalion has fallen madly in love with his statue of Galatea and does not want to sell it to Midas, a patron of the arts. He prays to Venus, the goddess of the love, for the statue to be brought to life. His wish is granted but Galatea is unfaithful to Pygmalion with his servant, the handsome Ganymed.

In 1660, Sir George Vernon, a Royalist, is in a property dispute with his cousin, Rupert Vernon, a Roundhead. Sir George fears that his family will lose Haddon Hall so he arranges a marriage between Rupert and his only surviving child, Dorothy. Dorothy is in love with John Manners, also a Royalist. On Dorothy's wedding day, John proposes that they elope but Dorothy says that her father will not allow their marriage unless John swears allegiance to Parliament but he will not compromise his principles. Lady Vernon and Dorothy urge Sir George to relent but he threatens to disown her. Rupert is shocked that he has been refused by Dorothy. Dorothy and John flee in a violent storm. When news is brought to Sir George that Dorothy has eloped with John Manners, Sir George gathers his men to chase after them with Rupert and his group of Puritans following.
Later, Rupert’s lawsuit has been resolved in his favour and he is now Lord of Haddon Hall. King Charles II has been restored to the throne and claims Haddon Hall as crown property. Rupert refuses to yield. Then John Manners enters with a warrant from the king, reinstating Sir George as Lord of Haddon Hall. He introduces Dorothy as his wife. She explains that she had followed her heart's counsel and her father forgives her.
