Plot

Michele Cannaritta is a Sicilian who moved to Bergamo apparently in search of work. He was actually kicked off the island for his insatiable sexual libido. Hired as a butler and driver by the Lampugnani family, his employer takes him to a doctor, who discovers Michele's physical peculiarity: triorchidism.

The news spreads like wildfire in the city among the friends and acquaintances of the Lampugnani couple. Michele can thus satisfy his sexual appetite with a series of ladies from the good Bergamo society, not without several problems and to the embarrassment of many.

Tired of the constant gossip and insinuations of her friends, Mrs. Lampugnani fires Michele. The man moves to the home of Carla, one of her friends, but it won't be his last move.
