The plot of "Women and Servants" takes place in Madrid, and the main characters in it are two sisters, Violante and Luciana, and their lovers, Claridan and Teodoro. These two couples, whose love relationship has been secret until now, are compromised by the appearance of two other suitors: Count Prospero, who longs for Luciana, and the rich Don Pedro, who is courting Violante. This initial approach leads to a game of hide and seek and a mixture of personalities.
