Saturnin je sluha, který se stane pánem svého pána. Mladý muž dobrého společenského postavení a vychování, trochu konzervativní, získá, ne vlastní vinou, sluhu Saturnina. Ten se de facto stane pánem svého zaměstnavatele a způsobí v jeho dosud poklidném životě řadu překvapivých zvratů a situací. Ty by se bez Saturnina daly těžko zvládnout. Už proto ne, že by bez něj pravděpodobně nikdy nenastaly. Saturnin je v Čechách pojmem již několik generací. V roce 1942 napsal spisovatel a novinář Zdeněk Jirotka (1911 až 2003) knížku s tímto názvem a od té doby byla vydána dvanáctkrát. Čtenáři ji milují pro její suchý humor, ne nepodobný "anglickému", množství parodií a nadsázky a zejména pro absurdní situace, do kterých uvádí svérázný sluha Saturnin celé své okolí.

The drama - filled with many of Dvorak's compositions - begins when the composer suddenly decides to cut a concert in London and return home.
