L'histoire se déroule à Paris. Günther Mayer, un jeune écrivain, auteur de récits de voyage, a été impressionné par une femme hautaine et très belle, qu'il a vue pour la première fois à travers la vitrine d’un magasin de fleurs. Puis, il la rencontre brièvement à plusieurs reprises ; en revanche, il en rêve plusieurs fois. Günther avoue qu'il veut connaître cette femme, afin de la déshabiller, mais le désir obsessif de la voir nue était plutôt un désir de déchirer ses vêtements, car il la considère inaccessible.

Lattuada suit les lignes directrices du roman homonyme dû à Vitaliano Brancati : Giovanni Percolla, jeune avocat catanais mène une existence morne et paresseuse auprès de ses trois sœurs, de vieilles filles qui ne cessent de le choyer. Son occupation principale consiste à traquer la gent féminine et à entretenir, avec d'autres amis masculins, de nombreux fantasmes sexuels. Or, l'arrivée en ville de Ninetta, une fille de l'aristocratie helvète qui semble être attirée par sa personnalité, le trouble profondément. Il s'éprend d'elle et l'épouse. Après s'être séparé de ses sœurs, il s'installe avec Ninetta, au Nord, à Milan. Là, il parvient à arracher un poste intéressant qui lui permet de progresser en affaires. Sa vie amoureuse le laisse néanmoins insatisfait. Dès lors, son travail, très contraignant pourtant, ne l'empêche pas de courtiser d'autres femmes : en particulier, Wanda, l'épouse d'un concurrent. Hélas, Wanda finit dans les bras d'un de ses amis catanais. Écœuré, puis lassé par l'ambiance milanaise, Giovanni retourne en Sicile où il renoue avec ses anciennes habitudes et son mode de vie nonchalant. Lattuada a, d'une part, modifié l'état d'esprit du héros à Milan et, aspect plus important encore, l'époque du roman : Brancati situe son récit, paru en 1942, à son époque, le fascisme, tandis que le cinéaste le transporte à la sienne, celle du miracle économique italien.

In fact, the mandrake, once extracted by force from the ground, would have screamed inhumanly, with the risk of piercing the ears of collectors. Said these instructions, the old and the dog starts in less than no Duke, the beast dies with ears buffeted by the sharp cry of the mandrake. Merged plant, Ligurio offers the potion to Lucrezia, who drinks it with suspicion. For man to choose from for the night, Ligurio really wants to disguise himself as silly boy. In fact, the mandrake would not do any harm to him or to Lucrezia was all a sham! In this role.
