Plot
In a half-deserted Milan on the day of Ferragosto, a bizarre mechanical indicator tells a passerby the story of a bank employee, Peppino Biancaneve, who, with the help of a disc, is trying to put together the words he would like to use to ask for the hand of the daughter of the jeweler Carlo Casertoni. But while he is mulling over the sentences he should pronounce to his future father-in-law, he comes across a strange individual who could be a bringer of bad luck: a jinx.
Snow White finds confirmation shortly afterward, when she realizes her car has been robbed. She joins a group chasing the alleged thief, Mirko, and ends up arrested and taken to the police station. From there, with the thief's help, she manages to escape and reach the jeweler's house. Mirko poses as a doctor before the jeweler and is invited on a trip to the Brianza countryside, to Casertoni's villa.
The thief's companions, seeing him pass by, decide to follow him along with Eleonora, Mirko's girlfriend. Arriving at the jeweler's residence, the gang of crooks decides to pull off a major heist by opening the jeweler's safe. But after some dramatic scenes, Peppino manages to have the entire gang arrested and finally fulfills his dream of an engagement.
