Plot

Nick Moroni (Remo Germani), a young singer called up, learns that his wife Catherine (Alicia Brandet) is about to leave for America, taking with her their son. So he abducts the baby and takes him to the police station, asking a soldier named Piscitello (Franco Franchi) to keep him well hidden. Sgt. Camilloni (Ciccio Ingrassia) discovers the child and is led to believe he is the father, and asks Piscitello to keep the boy well hidden. Piscitello naturally takes advantage of the situation to blackmail the sergeant, demanding concessions to no end and subjecting him to endless harassment.
