Simpleton suitors and enchanting fortune-seekers aspire to each other’s non-existent treasures. Szerafin’s morally strict husband is caught in an act of corruption. A verbose provincial relative drives everyone crazy. The man of the house, Ignác Solmay, is shy to stand up to things, and courageous in submitting to them, but even he has had enough when he sees that his wealth is ruined. Szidónia’s unstoppable good intentions lead his children to their ruin, and he has to pay the same bill three times over.
