Baptista has two daughters: Katherine and Bianca. Everyone wants to wed the fair Bianca, but nobody's much interested in problem child, Katherine. Baptista declares that he won't give Bianca away until he's found a husband for Katherine, so all the suitors begin busily hunting out a madman who's willing to marry her, and they find Petruchio: a man who's come to wive it wealthily in Padua. And Petruchio intends to marry Katherine with a plan to tame her, while everybody else begins scheming to win Bianca's hand.
