The Pariot focuses on the question of what true loyalty to one's country requires in wartime. Situated in the midst of the revolution, two true patriots - accused of Toryism - face a crowd of overzealous simpletons, hypocrites, secret tories, and men who use the war for personal gain. Will the patriots receive justice in such hands? Will their patriotism be rewarded or will they be ostracized?

Munford pits two noble candidates against vain men, drunkards, and simple minded fools who dare to run for office. Find out what the electorate thinks of theses candidates!
