Barry falls in love with his cousin, Nora, but when she rejects his advances, he sets out on a quest for wealth and status. Along the way, he engages in duels, becomes a soldier in the Seven Years' War, and eventually marries a wealthy widow, Lady Lyndon. Was he in any greed from that lady? However, Barry's rise to the top is not without its challenges, and he faces numerous obstacles and adversaries, including a jealous stepson, a rival for his wife's affections, and the machinations of his own flawed character.
