'SET in the fourteenth century in France, The Thundering Duke is a period drama. To the Comte de Granville and his fair lady, a visit from the thundering Duke could only have one end, as they have been sworn enemies since the slaying of the Comte’s father by the Duke. Plundering and duelling are introduced in an unexpected manner by author A. E. Martin in this play. The odds seem all in favour of the hated Duke, for de Granville duels under a crushing handicap that in the end proves his great ally and the Duke's undoing.'
