A lecherous Florentine named Nicomaco becomes attracted to an orphan girl he has raised since childhood. Nicomaco's son is also interested in the girl and wishes to marry her, but both men are manipulated by the matriarch of the family. The work is based upon a classical play by Plautus, called ***Casina***.
