Pseudolus is the laziest slave in Rome, and has but one wish, to purchase his freedom.  When his master and mistress leave for the day he finds out that the young master, Hero, has fallen in love with a virgin in the House of Lycus,  a slave dealer specializing in beautiful women.  Pseudolus concocts a deal in which he will be freed if he can procure the girl for Hero.
