Our hero is an unusual English gentleman Captain Ross Poldark, who comes home from the War of American Independence to find his sweetheart Elizabeth about to marry his cousin Francis Poldark. Ross sinks into a deep depression. Short of money, he tries mining to make his fortune, nearly always having to fight the upstart George Warleggan - an old enemy who also has designs on Elizabeth.
