The Pickwick Papers is a sequence of loosely-related adventures. Its main cinematic value and appeal is formed by its numerous memorable characters. Each character in The Pickwick Papers, as in many other Dickens adaptions, is drawn comically, often with exaggerated personalities.
The film's main character, Mr. Samuel Pickwick, is a kind and wealthy old gentleman, the foundeer of the Pickwick Club. He is usually portrayed as a round-faced, clean-shaven, portly gentleman wearing spectacles. Mr. Pickwick travels with his friends, Mr. Augustus Snodgrass, Mr. Nathaniel Winkle, and Mr. Tracy Tupman, and their travels throughout the English countryside provide the chief theme of the film.
Alfred Jingle provides the Papers with an aura of comic villainy. His misadventures repeatedly land the Pickwickians in trouble. These include Jingle's elopment with the spinster, Aunt Rachael of Dingley Dell manor, misadventures with Dr. Slammer, and others.
Other notable adventures include Mr. Pickwick's legal case against his landlady, Mrs. Bardell, who is suing him for the breach of promise to marry her. Another is Mr. Pickwick's incarceration at Fleet prison for his stubborn refusal to pay the compensation to her; the unscrupulous Dodson and Fogg's law firm prosecuted poor Pickwick.
