The Play
The play is divided in three acts:
- First Act: the arrival of the letter and the elaboration of Caroba's plan to reconcile Colonel Eudoro and his old love, Benona;
- Second Act: Caroba's plan is in progress, but lots of unexpected events happen (usually caused by Eurico, who is trying to protect his coffer) and Caroba has to improvise her plan;
- Third Act: a huge mass is made at the end but everything ends well for everyone (except for Eurico, who discovers that he lost his "fortune" in his "sow coffer").
