The original story was of the class distinction between Crichton, the Butler, and his employer's daughter, Lady Mary. When the noble family and servants are shipwrecked on a desert island, Crichton proves to be the man most able to organise their survival and control affairs. Gradually Lady Mary accepts his superiority and even offers her love to him. However, once they are rescued and back in society, the relationship returns to one where Crichton is the servant. However, for this musical version the main love relationship was between Tweeny the Maid and Crichton, thus destroying most of the point of the story. It thus became a much watered down early version of “Upstairs Downstairs” with a lot of jolly songs.
