Years before, the millionaire Pierre (Alain Flick) destroyed the wealthy nobleman Count Max's fortune. In the present, Alfredo (Christian De Sica), a restless young mechanic who resembles the count, has fallen in love with a model (Ornella Muti) and wants some new adventure in his life. In return for his agreement to get revenge on the Count's old foe, he gets lessons in how to behave like the count himself. He tracks down the model, woos her successfully, and persuades her to join forces with him to go to Morocco and confront the nefarious millionaire. Once there, they lose all their resources. Oddly enough, the so-called villain of the story has fallen in love with Alfredo, and the mechanic allows himself to be joined in matrimony to the other man in an unusual Arab ceremony. This is a remake of a film made popular twice before by Christian De Sica's father, famed actor/director Vittorio De Sica.
