Book Description:
En una ciudad andaluza, de nombre desconocido, viven enamorados y en pacífica convivencia el tío Lucas, hombre feo y contrahecho, y su mujer, bella y codiciada por todos los vecinos, la señá Frasquita: ella navarra y él murciano. Ambos rigen un molino de harina en que se reúne la tertulia de los notables de la ciudad. D. Eugenio de Zúñiga y Ponce de León, corregidor del lugar y hombre todavía más feo y contrahecho, con la complicidad del alguacil Garduña, tiende una trampa al molinero para que se ausente de su casa y poder así manifestar sus amores a la molinera, pero por una serie de circunstancias casuales el corregidor se va a ver envuelto en un embrollo considerable.
