About This Book

A fast-moving comedy of mistaken identity centers on two sets of identical twins separated in childhood whose unexpected overlap in a busy port city provokes escalating confusion. Repeated misrecognitions between masters and their lookalike servants produce wrongful arrests, disrupted households, commercial quarrels, and mounting farce. A distressed parent facing legal peril and a mysterious religious figure increase the emotional tension beneath the humor. Through a sequence of comic confrontations, legal encounters, and finally recognition, the tangled misunderstandings are unraveled and family relationships are restored.
