Plutus

About the show

In ancient Greece, Xinthias loves Myrrha, but her father intends her to marry the wealthy older Xénon. Following an oracle’s advice, Xinthias shelters Plutus, god of wealth, who makes him rich by diverting a gold-bearing river through his house and village. The new wealth corrupts the villagers and leads Xinthias’s father to forbid his son’s marriage. Plutus ultimately restores the lovers and their neighbors to poverty and happiness.
