Synopsis

In 1759, George Found’s career as a traveling actor comes to a disastrous end, and he is forced to seek his fortune in the North of England. By accident, he blunders on to the property of the eccentric Duke of Bridgewater who is trying to build England’s first overland canal to carry his coal to Manchester and Liverpool. He is aided by John Brindley, an equally eccentric engineer. The duke offers George work at the rate of half-a-man, which rouses the ire of Peg Pendleton, a girl of his age. Their relationship is an uneasy one. George is haunted by dreams of a man with a bandage over his eyes and by the vision of a gallows. The duke has powerful enemies and matters come to a head in London when George is framed as a pickpocket and seems likely to meet an unhappy end on Tyburn “tree.”
