When a young woman of beauty and talent joins a provincial vaudeville troupe, they're suddenly playing to packed houses, and their aging comic Checco Dalmonte gets big ideas. He falls in love with the ingenue, Liliana, and ignores his companion of several years, Melina Amour. (She wants to marry Checco and she's saving to open a deli.) Also, believing he can be an impresario, he hires other actors and begins rehearsal for a revue that will star Liliana and himself. Liliana admires Checco, but she's being squired around town by Adelmo Conti, the assistant to the region's biggest impresario. Can Checco's new troupe hold onto Liliana, and how will Melina fare?

Roma, anni '50. Dopo la Seconda Guerra Mondiale c'è penuria di alloggi. Ciè ha costretto la coabitazione, in uno stesso appartamento, di due nuclei familiari: una famiglia di profughi istriani e la famiglia di Peppino Armentano, callista, che comprende, anche la moglie, il suocero, due figlie e due figli. Quando le condizioni cambiano, Peppino decide di cercarsi un altro alloggio. Conosce Pino Calamari, che gli offre un appartamento spazioso e comodo e ad un prezzo irrisorio. Peppino accetta l'offerta e si trasferisce con la famiglia nella nuova abitazione. L'ingresso dei nuovi inquilini provoca le risate di scherno dei vicini: l'appartamento era stato in precedenza una "casa chiusa", oggi abolite grazie alla Legge Merlin. Da questa situazione nascono numerosi equivoci, al punto da far pensare alla moglie di Peppino di lasciare l'appartamento. Alla fine, perè, tutto si aggiusta per il meglio.

Four directors tell tales of Eros fit for a 1970s Decameron. Working-class lovers, Renzo and Luciana, marry but must hide it from her employer; plus, they need a room of their own. A billboard of Anita Ekberg provocatively selling milk gives a prudish crusader for public decency more than he can handle. The wife of a count whose escapades with call girls make the front page of the papers decides to work to prove her independence, but what is she qualified to do? A buxom carnival-booth manager who owes back taxes offers herself for one night in a lottery: a nerdy sacristan and a jealous cowboy make for a lovers' triangle. In each, women take charge, but not always happily.
