Nella Firenze 'magnifica' di Lorenzo De' Medici, cinque amici praticano con disinvoltura l'ozio e la bischerata. Irresponsabili e impenitenti, si ritrovano periodicamente per esorcizzare un domani di cui non v'è certezza, perché la peste è alle porte e il Savonarola è in città a predicare l'Apocalisse e a infliggere castighi. Duccio, consigliere svogliato, Cecco, oste sfaticato, Jacopo medico col vizietto, Manfredo, nullafacente con esagerata prole, e Filippo, nobile signore becco e infedele, dopo aver turbato le sorelle del convento con un nano ‘infante' e superdotato e aver tirato scemo il legnaiolo Alderighi, sottraendogli la focosa consorte e scambiandogli la vita, decidono per troppa noia di prendersi gioco di uno di loro, condannandolo loro malgrado ‘a capitolare'.
