Countess Anna Guerrieri, a rich and provocative noblewoman, marries Romano, an important fascist who is very loyal to the party. Sadly his sexual performance is found very lacking by the Countess, and so frustrated, she decides to look elsewhere for satisfaction and ends up setting her sights on Stefano, Romano's naive and inexperienced young nephew undergraduate who has recently arrived from the provinces to get help from his uncle for a good job. She involves the boy in an ambiguous erotic game and, once satisfied with her cravings, gives him the sack. He does not even have time to recover that his cousin Marisa confesses his love: he is so upset that he immediately returns home.
