L'heure espagnole

About the show

In 18th-century Toledo, clockmaker Torquemada leaves his shop to tend the municipal clocks. His wife Concepción uses his absence to arrange assignations with poet Gonzalve and banker Don Iñigo. Muleteer Ramiro repeatedly carries grandfather clocks upstairs, hiding the men inside them. When Torquemada returns, the two men are trapped in clocks, which they eventually escape and buy to preserve their dignity. Lukas, suspecting an affair, goes to the Corregidor’s house wearing the official’s clothes. The Corregidora untangles the confusion and reconciles Lukas and Concepción.
