The 17th century
When old widower Harpingon decides to marry off his children against their will, he sets the entire family scheming to steal his fortune. With forbidden romance in the air and the family treasure buried in the backyard, it's a race to see who will come out on top. Can Harpingon stay a stride ahead and hang onto his beloved hoard, getting himself a hot young bride to boot? Or will his kids succeed in foiling his selfish plans?
