  Set in 1797 in a Belfast tavern where the Muddlers' Club, an association of men of revolutionary beliefs, meets regularly. Despite ostensibly being a secret society, its existence is well-known to many, and the Club finds itself graced to its dismay by a surprise visit from Lord Castlereagh. Attempting to conceal the club's political nature, the men prove unsuccessful, and they fear themselves trapped in the tavern. Soon, however, they discover that they have merely been the subject of several impersonations, not once but on several accounts, by Napper Tandy.
