Comic comedy in three acts.
To put an end to the constant intrusions into her apartment, Mary decides to take a dog as an anti-theft device.
Titian, her husband, strongly opposes this decision due to the ban on keeping animals, imposed by the gruff Hannibal, one of the tenants of the building where the couple lives, but above all for fear of the repercussions on the already precarious family budget due to the hypochondria of his wife who thinks he can solve his health problems with the help of self-styled magicians. Unfortunately for him, his wife, now conquered by the little dog, is not in the least willing to change her mind and bring her new friend back to the kennel. Not having a dog's bed to let him stay in, he hands over to Cynthia, his sister, to whom he temporarily entrusts the dog, an old chair, unaware that ten thousand pounds are hidden inside the cavity of the session. After purchasing the dog's bed, the chair is thrown away. When the two sisters find out what was inside, they will desperately try to retrieve it. To gain time, Mary will insinuate the doubt to Titian that they have been victims of a theft by the usual thief who has visited their home several times. When Titian finds out that he has been duped, he will ask for an immediate refund of the money. Not being able to do this, the sister-in-law will invent the excuse of her husband's serious illness, who instead enjoys excellent health, to justify the fact that he no longer owns that money. Then Titian will give her an ultimatum: 20 days within which she can return the money. For this reason, the sisters will devise a special plan to make some money in case the finding of the chair is not successful.
In addition to the whole series of misunderstandings, there will also be some twists and turns during the unfolding of the story, for example when Titian catches red-handed the thief who systematically tries to break into his house. The man will also propose to the criminal, to avoid jail, to commit two murders. Titian, in fact, would like to get rid of the magician and his dying brother-in-law for good, before the two can leave him completely broke. The thief, however, will make him do an examination of conscience but takes his leave with the promise to repay him for not having reported him. When a dead body is found in an apartment of his building with a knife stuck in its throat, Titian will think that the man has kept his promise, but that he has the wrong person. The police investigation will shed light on the affair and allow Titian to breathe a sigh of relief. The escaped danger and the finding of the chair, in the end, will perform the miracle of making him perform a metamorphosis. In fact, Titian will decide to make his wife happy and host the new member of the family, even defying the wrath of Hannibal.
