Count Anselmo squanders the household’s money on counterfeit antiquities while his wife Isabella mistreats Doralice, the merchant’s daughter who married their son Giacinto. Servants and would-be peacemakers exaggerate each woman’s grievances, turning the household into a comic battleground. Doralice’s father Pantalone finally takes charge of the finances and separates the women, though they still refuse to reconcile.
