Un joven comerciante, recién desvinculado de sus negocios tras la muerte de su padre, se traslada a Madrid y se instala cerca de su tío Rafael Bueno de Guzmán y de las hijas de éste, María Juana, Eloísa y Camila.

La narración combina observaciones sociales con tensiones familiares sobre los yernos y los casamientos.
