At the end of the 1930s an insurer, a convinced fascist, moved from Rome to the South in search of business. However, he is mistaken for a fascist hierarch in disguise, and all the local leaders, Podestà in the head, hurry to try to hide their wrongdoings. Homer falls in love with Elvira, daughter of Don Salvatore and comes into contact with the doctor, a symbol of the local anti-fascists. What will happen when Homer himself, who becomes aware of the misunderstanding, reveals that he is not a hierarch but only an insurer?
