Plot

Engineer Franco Finali is caught red-handed by his wife Marta having an affair with Gloria, Marta's best friend. Marta agrees to stay with him, but only if he reciprocates by behaving the same way.

To avert a deeper marital crisis, Franco reluctantly agrees to this unusual arrangement. However, he quickly proves unable to wait and, consumed by jealousy, takes matters into his own hands. He ropes in Roberto, his best friend and colleague, who has secretly been in love with Marta for a long time. Marta pretends to engage in a romantic affair and strategically places "incriminating evidence" around the house to drive her husband to the brink. After comically playing the role of an inept investigator, Franco hires an equally inept adulterer. Falsely feeling guilty for a crime he didn't commit, Franco faces the risk of ulcer surgery and undergoes gastric lavage for a fake poisoning.

Following a series of ups and downs, a punished and remorseful Franco eventually earns forgiveness from his loyal Marta.
