Plot

Oscar Pettinari is a young hick from the suburbs of Rome who attends Cinecittà studies, posing as a neighbourhood bully and dreaming of a great acting career, but he is forced to make a living as a stuntman in minor films. Discarded for the umpteenth audition for a large production, a disappointed Oscar, driven by whimsical lawyer Giangiacomo Pigna Corelli, who he met casually, lets himself be convinced to take revenge on the rich producer of the film, cheating him with a false car accident: however, that day the producer's lover, Nancy, a young Italian American actress indicated as a rising star of the star system, was driving the car. The incident, and the possible scandal that could ensue, cost her the dismissal.

Abandoned by everyone and stuck in Rome penniless, Nancy finds no other foothold than Oscar, who, being a man with a mild and good-natured soul, offers her hospitality in his home; as the days go by, trying to help each other, a strong friendship is born between the two, and even something deeper. At the same time, Oscar is grappling with the increasingly frequent quirks of his lawyer, who is determined to bring the attempted scam even to court, and in order to win the case, he drags his client in situations to the limit, between unnecessary surgical operations and far-fetched harangue.

Everything degenerates when Oscar discovers that Pigna Corelli is nothing more than a mythomaniac, stumbled upon yet another crisis of personality: suddenly realizing the glare, the boy sees his love vanish shortly thereafter when Nancy returns in the United States, determined to resume her career, but now well aware of how fame is not everything. Oscar feels very sorry, but does not give up and, after all, made more mature by the latest events, goes to face another audition with a renewed awareness.
