The action takes place in Paris in the seventeenth century, focusing on the subject of avarice. The play recounts the adventures of a greedy widower who, stubbornly, submits to extreme poverty all those who live with him, including his own son."After all, the coffers are suspicious, I do not trust them because they are exactly the right bait for thieves, because they are always the first thing they are going to rob. But will it be a good idea to bury, in the garden of your own residence, a box with ten thousand doubloons in gold coins? ... Ten thousand doubles is a very high sum, plus the twenty thousand doubles that are also hidden there, in the other little boxes ... Anyway, it's no small disruption, this to discover in the whole house safe places to hide my precious little boxes ... "
