The book explores themes of adventure and moral conflict as it follows the escapades of a group of highwaymen, led by the resplendent Captain Lovett, who plot to rob a carriage carrying a nobleman. At the start of the novel, the atmosphere is set under the moonlight, where two robbers, Ned and Augustus, await the arrival of their target.
