Prince Agis, rightful heir to the throne of Sparta, is preparing to take it back by
force from Princess Leonides, whose father killed Agis's parents. Agis lives with
his eccentric uncle Hermocrates, an ascetic philosopher, and his sister, the equally
stoic Hesione. Leonides, who is unaware of who Agis is, has fallen in love with
him. She hatches a plan to win Agis: disguised as a young man, she will ask to
study with Hermocrates, thus bringing her close to her intended. All sorts of
complications occur, however, with the result that Leonides pretends to be in love
with Hermocrates and Hesione, as well as declares her true love for Agis, all in
the course of a single afternoon. Eventually, things are sorted out, Hermocrates
and Hesione realize they have been duped, but nonetheless give Agis and
Leonides their blessing.
