A story about love triangles, revenge, and political satire centered on the mystical Carnivale, Aphra Behn's The Rover is 20%'s first foray into a period and historical piece. When a rakish naval captain, Willmore, falls in love with a young woman, Hellena, as she is about to be sent off to a convent by her brother complications arise when Angellica Bianca falls in love with Willmore and swears revenge on him for his betrayal. Meanwhile, Hellena's sister Florinda attempts to marry her true love, Colonel Belvile, rather than the man her brother has selected and Blunt is convinced that a girl has fallen in love with him but is humiliated when she turns out to be a prostitute and a thief.
