Gianni (Marzio C. Honorato) and Santa (Consuelo Ferrar) are in love but at odds about what really matters in life. Gianni drives taxis -- illegally -- to make a precarious living, a situation which at one point lands him in jail. As he is cooling his heels, his wife is having an affair, and being a "modern" woman she has no qualms about telling Gianni. When he gets out of prison, being a tradition-bound male yet in love with his wife, he does everything he can to "win" her back from his new rival, the erstwhile lover. While working on this problem, Gianni is developing some others when he steals a company truck in an effort to get out of a scam operation and obtain some more job security -- not the best solution, although it is sure to get his demand for job security some attention.
