They receive a bequest from their father, of a coat each, with instructions that no alterations whatsoever may be made in the coats. After some time, the sons find that their coats have fallen out of current fashion. They begin to look for loopholes in their father will so that they may make the alterations they want. Each son finds his own means of getting around their father admonition, and they struggle with each other for power and dominance.
