Plot

Doctor Nicola Pischella is an unrepentant womanizer who systematically cheats on his jealous wife Lucia between visits to his dental office. Things get complicated when the old and weird Saverio, Lucia's uncle, arrives at the Pischella house, who says he is ill and now close to death.

In exchange for hospitality and assistance, she promises a generous bequest to her niece. To provide for the elderly relative, the beautiful Angela Della Torre is hired as a night nurse with whom Carlo, a young and shy student son of Nicola, will fall in love, and who will make the dentist himself and his clumsy assistant Peppino lose his head.

Between misunderstandings, betrayals and personal exchanges, which will also include Zaira, Nicola's historical lover, and a busty neighbor, Angela will get engaged to Carlo, while it will be discovered that Saverio is not Lucia's real uncle, but an impostor who had entered his house only to steal a precious diamond hidden in the chandelier.
