Cinthio’s and Charmante’s plan to woo their lovers under their window has failed; chased off by their guardian, the mad Dr. Baliardo. Now, Elaria and Bellemante are confined to their home.

With the help of their governess and their guardian’s right hand man, the four conspire to gain his consent. But he is credulously distracted with the idea that there is a kingdom on the moon, and the thought of marrying his daughter and niece to The Emperor and his brother, The Prince of Thunderland. 

Will their love win? Can they gain the mad doctor's approval and break him off from his fixation by performing their farce: The Emperor Of The Moon?
