Gianni Schicchi, a clever Tuscan trustee, succeeds with a clever stratagem in pocketing the conspicuous inheritance of the elderly art collector Buoso Donati, who has just died.
The large crowd of greedy relatives, who have rushed to get their share, will be thrown out of the house without nothing in the hands.
