Plot
Jealous of his girlfriend, the lawyer Alberto Moretti is convinced that she spent a couple of days in a high mountain refuge in the company of the engineer Paolo Ravelli, a friend of the lawyer. However, it is only a misunderstanding and therefore, to clarify his position and restore the truth, the engineer proposes to his friend and his girlfriend to find the girl who in the shelter had passed herself off as the lawyer's girlfriend. However, an intrusive and bizarre aunt joins the party who, by meddling in everything, causes further misunderstandings and misunderstandings to no end. However, the group manages to discover that the mysterious girl was not the lawyer's girlfriend at all. The two slandered youths managed to re-establish the truth but, by dating, they also fell in love with each other. So in the end, it is also the lawyer, jealous and suspicious, who suffers the damage.
