Description This charming work, written in two acts, revolves around the theme that women are all alike and fickle. Don Alfonso, a philosophic old man, bets two young officer friends that if they leave their sweethearts for a time, no matter how much the ladies love the officers, they will be unfaithful. The officers make a wager with Alfonso. They leave and return masquerading as Moroccan Sheiks. At first neither lady will give into the ardent advances of the attractive strangers, but finally each does.
