Well, the plantiff in a criminal case is (are) the people. So depending on the circumstances the case could be delayed or dismissed, at the perrogative of the judge.

Appear on the date of the summons. If you fail to appear in court on that date, the plantiff (the party suing you) will obtain a default judgment. Whether or not you show, the plantiff is still likely to get a judgment against you. You would actually be better off trying to make a settlement with the plantiff before it goes to court. This will save you the added expense of legal fees and potentially court costs as well.
There is no plaintiff in a criminal case. The state prosecutes.
