Driven by ambition and smitten by love, Checco dons the hat of an impresario, recruiting a cast of performers for a revue that would showcase Liliana's talent and his comic genius. However, Liliana, while respectful of Checco, is being charmed by Adelmo Conti, the right-hand man to the most influential impresario in the region.

And what fate awaits the overlooked Melina in this tumultuous world of provincial vaudeville?
