Mr. Pickwick, Mr. Tupman, Mr. Snodgrass and Mr. Winkle constitute The Corresponding Society of the Pickwick Club. The purpose of the society is to make reports of excursions outside London. At the stage-coach to Rochester they are accompanied by a charming stranger, who they invite for dinner at The Bull Inn, the first stop of the journey. When the others fall asleep after too much wine, Mr. Tupman and the stranger sneak upstairs to a ball. The stranger has no fine clothes and borrows Mr. Winkle's tail-coat. At the ball he insults a Dr. Slammer, who the next day wants to duel with "the man in the blue tail-coat", which happens to be the perplexed Mr. Winkle.

When the duel is going to start, Dr. Slammer discovers that Mr. Winkle is not the man that insulted him the evening before. Back at the Bull Inn he finds the offender. It's the stranger, who is now identified as a strolling player, a person not worthy of a duel. Mr. Pickwick and his friends are invited by Mr. Wardle to his manor farm at Dingley Dell.

Mr. Wardle, Mr. Pickwick and the others go out in search of the couple in London. At last a young man, Sam Weller, reveals that they are staying at The White Hart Inn.
