Samuele, a waiter, and Sara are engaged. They also do voluntary work for a group of old folks, and Samuele's favourite is Mr Sorelli. When the old man dies, he leaves Samuele four billion lire. Samuele is rich and neglects his old friends and forgets all about Sara. He lives the high society life and surrounds himself with rich new friends and gets a new girlfriend called Vanessa, a sophisticated glamourpuss.
All that glitters is not gold. Samuele's new friends turn out to be fast boys, and Vanessa is in league with them to cheat Samuele out of his inheritance. They succeed and he is left literally without a penny.
His tail between his legs, Samuele returns to his old friends who welcome him back with open arms. They also help him find a way of getting his money back from the tricksters.
All's well that ends well. Samuele gets his money back and life is almost back to normal. Except for Sara, that is...
