The play takes place entirely at Jourdain's house in Paris. Jourdain is a middle-aged bourgeois whose father grew rich as a cloth-merchant. The rather foolish Jourdain now has one aim in life—to rise above this middle-class background and be accepted as an aristocratic gentleman. me Jourdain, his sensible wife, sees that he is making himself ridiculous and urges him to return to his previous unpretentious middle-class life, but to no avail. Jourdain wants his daughter Lucille to marry a nobleman. But Lucille is in love with the middle-class Cléonte. He, with the assistance of his valet Covielle, disguises himself and presents himself to Jourdain as the son of the Sultan of Turkey. Needless to say, Jourdain is taken in and consents with delight to have his daughter marry foreign royalty. He is even more delighted when the "Turkish prince" informs him that, as father of the bride, he too will be officially ennobled at a special ceremony.
