The play is a comedy that tells the story of a young man named Clinia who is in love with a woman named Antiphila. However, Clinia's father, Menedemus, disapproves of the relationship and forbids Clinia from seeing Antiphila. Clinia becomes depressed and decides to leave home, but not before he convinces his father to buy a slave to take his place and deceive his mother into thinking he is still at home.
