A four-segment comedy starring the best comedy actors of that time (and of the Italian movie history). All of them stand on a flimsy plot and only benefit from the outstanding performance of their main characters. In the first one, Paolo Villaggio, playing a cruise captain, grapples with a shocking diagnosis: he's going to become a woman. A series of irresistible gags, also en travesti, ensues. Mariangela Melato wants to take part in a dancing contest with the consummate dancer Adriano Celentano. He plays hard to get but in the end shows up at the venue and dances with Ms. Melato in a beautifully filmed, and funny scene. Renato Pozzetto is a builder who commutes to his workplace. He's picked upon and mocked by the Count and his mistress whose house he's building along with his colleagues, but in the end he will have his revenge. The last chapter shows Alberto Sordi who, in his early fifties, plays Nando Moriconi again, after twenty years. He's a goofy, incompetent bodyguard who is tasked with defending a Milanese industrial tycoon.
