Giorgio, son of a rich industrialist, is attracted with Lorena, a university student, but she's already engaged to Carlo. After having tried in vain to court her, Giorgio resorts to an extreme measure: taking advantage of his father's absence, he threatens to cause the bankruptcy of the small business owned by Lorena's parents. The girl, to avoid the ruin of her family, abandons Carlo without giving him any explanation and agrees to get engaged to Giorgio. Carlo, having learned from a friend the reason for his girlfriend's sudden change of attitude, must confront his rival and teach him lesson.

The musicarello is a film subgenre which emerged in Italy and which is characterised by the presence in main roles of young singers, already famous among their peers, and their new record album. In the films there are almost always tender and chaste love stories accompanied by the desire to have fun and dance without thoughts. Musicarelli reflect the desire and need for emancipation of young Italians, highlighting some generational frictions. The genre began in the late 1950s, and had its peak of production in the 1960s.
