Venice. The servant Truffaldino is hungry and, hoping for double pay, seeks a second master, who turns out to be a mistress in disguise.
In Goldoni's bravura play, commedia-dell'arte characters get caught up in a confusion of tangible interests and hypocritical oaths. Two couples find each other, while Truffaldino gets into many a predicament.
