En un pueblo andaluz a principios del siglo XIX, el astuto tío Lucas, dueño del molino y esposo de la bella Frasquita, atrae con sus encantos a gentes de abolengo. El corregidor del pueblo, prendado de Frasquita, decide hacerla suya urdiendo una patraña para detener a Lucas. Alarcón plantea un conflicto cómico con toques impresionistas, entre el realismo y el sainete, en una anécdota con personajes diseñados plásticamente, concluida por un autor omnisciente y burlón.
Pedro Antonio de Alarcón y Ariza was a nineteenth-century Spanish novelist, known best for his novel El sombrero de tres picos (1874), an adaptation of popular traditions which provides a description of village life in Alarcón's native region of Andalusia. It was the basis for Hugo Wolf's opera Der Corregidor (1897); for Riccardo Zandonai's opera La farsa amorosa (1933); and Manuel de Falla's ballet The Three-Cornered Hat (1919).
