Plots(1)
Two eligible bachelors, Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, are in trouble. Jack's unworthy habit of representing himself as his imaginary brother Ernest and Algernon's adoption of an equally fictitious and perpetually sickly friend has allowed them both a latitude in their personal lives that they would otherwise have not enjoyed. Their respective deceptions start to unravel, however, when both chaps become mortally wounded by Cupid's arrow setting up a series of events which will change their lives forever! (Network)
