Propriétaire d’un grand magasin, le commendatore "Fernandone", est obsédé par un cauchemar où il rencontre un jeune homme qu’il ne connait pas mais qu’il déteste profondément. Un jour, un certain Walter Milani, docteur en sciences économiques, vient le trouver à la recherche d’un emploi ; il est timide et il a le malheur de ressembler exactement à celui que le commendatore voit dans ses cauchemars. Dès que ce dernier l’aperçoit, il entre en rage et, tout en criant : « C’est lui, c’est lui !!! », il lui ordonne de s’en aller. Son médecin traitant, qui est en même temps son meilleur ami, se trouve au même moment dans son bureau et il lui conseille de regarder la réalité en face : qu’il garde cet homme avec lui dans le grand magasin, qu’il lui donne un travail et son cauchemar disparaitra.
