Le film se déroule à Rome après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Fernando « Nando » Mericoni (Alberto Sordi) a un penchant pour tout ce qui vient des États-Unis, les films (son grand héros est John Wayne), le sport (il porte une casquette aux insignes de Joe Di Maggio), la nourriture (ketchup, pop-corn, chewing-gum) et la langue. Il prétend connaître l'anglais, mais ne parle qu'un vulgaire charabia. Il installe un refroidisseur d'eau dans sa chambre, comme il l'a vu à l'ambassade américaine. Toute sa vie est une parodie risible de la vie américaine. Le but ultime de Nando est d'aller en Amérique. Inspiré par le film de Henry Hathaway, Quatorze heures (1951 ) , il monte sur le plus haut mur du Colisée devant une foule des spectateurs, menaçant de sauter si son visa ne lui est pas accordé par l'ambassade des États-Unis.

Set in Italian East Africa (Ethiopia) during WW2, the wartime comedy plays on the clash between Richardson (Niven), a typical product of the British officer corps (quiet, methodic, but often stubborn and unprepared to deal with the unexpected) and the flamboyant Blasi, who tries desperately to appear ruthless and efficient (just like the Italian Fascist Regime pretended for years to be) but is at heart just a 'poor devil' trying to box above his weight.

Italy in the Fifties. The image of grandeur and opulence, brought by the arrival of American troops in 1944, still has its effect on many young Italians. One of them is Ferdinand "Nando" Mericoni (Alberto Sordi), a connoisseur of the American world as represented in American cinema of which he is fervent devotee. Believing his future lies beyond the Atlantic, Nando moves to Rome, americanizing his life by imitating the sounds of American language and trying to recreate a Hollywood setting in his room, in his antics which leave a trail of victims, especially his now desperate parents, and his girlfriend Elvira (Maria Pia Casilio), who, probably allured by his manner, loves him despite everything.
