The story revolves around a wealthy but miserly man named Harpagon, who is obsessed with his wealth and will do anything to keep it.

However, his plans are disrupted when his son falls in love with a woman who Harpagon also desires. The play is full of witty dialogue, hilarious misunderstandings, and satirical commentary on the greed and excess of the upper class.
