Variety Lights is a bittersweet drama about a group of second-rate theatrical performers on tour. The actors, dancers, and performers struggle to make money from town to town, playing to minimal crowds, while the ageing manager of the company falls in love with a newcomer, to the chagrin of his faithful mistress Melina Amour, played by Fellini's real-life wife, Giulietta Masina. The movie begins with a sold-out vaudeville show in a small Italian town. A young woman, Liliana, played by Carla Del Poggio, sits in the appreciate crowd, enraptured by the performers. That evening, as the troupe boards a train, with two of the performers forced to sit in the train toilet to evade paying the fare, the young woman also boards the train. During the night, she unsuccessfully requests the head of the group, Checco Dal Monte, played by Peppino De Filippo, to join the group. In the morning when the group realizes it does not have enough money to pay for a carriage, Liliana hires the carriage with the last of her money. This saves the group several miles of walking and leads to them accepting her. At the performance that evening, a sparse and hostile crowd mocks each performer in turn. When the local promoter notices that the crowd responds approvingly to Liliana, he interrupts the performance and directs the group to feature the newcomer. This leads to repeat performances over the next two days to increasingly larger crowds. After the third and final performance, a local wealthy man invites the group to his mansion for dinner. That night Checco realizes he desires Liliana. In the morning, as the group walks towards the train station, Checco abandons his mistress Melina to walk alone with Liliana. When the group arrives in Rome, Checco leaves it in order to form his own troupe featuring Liliana. However, as this new group practices, Liliana arrives to tell Checco she has signed with a competitor. Checco collapses. The movie then follows Liliana in her brilliant debut in a minor role, hinting that she has a bright future ahead of her. The movie ends with Liliana, sporting an expensive fur coat, boarding a first-class train carriage en route to Milan. On the adjoining track, Checco and his old troupe board a train for Formaggio. In the final scene, the two trains leave the station as Checco, reunited with Melina, begins to flirt with a young woman who sits across the aisle from him. This suggest he is about to begin the cycle once again.

Lattuada suit les lignes directrices du roman homonyme dû à Vitaliano Brancati : Giovanni Percolla, jeune avocat catanais mène une existence morne et paresseuse auprès de ses trois sœurs, de vieilles filles qui ne cessent de le choyer. Son occupation principale consiste à traquer la gent féminine et à entretenir, avec d'autres amis masculins, de nombreux fantasmes sexuels. Or, l'arrivée en ville de Ninetta, une fille de l'aristocratie helvète qui semble être attirée par sa personnalité, le trouble profondément. Il s'éprend d'elle et l'épouse. Après s'être séparé de ses sœurs, il s'installe avec Ninetta, au Nord, à Milan. Là, il parvient à arracher un poste intéressant qui lui permet de progresser en affaires. Sa vie amoureuse le laisse néanmoins insatisfait. Dès lors, son travail, très contraignant pourtant, ne l'empêche pas de courtiser d'autres femmes : en particulier, Wanda, l'épouse d'un concurrent. Hélas, Wanda finit dans les bras d'un de ses amis catanais. Écœuré, puis lassé par l'ambiance milanaise, Giovanni retourne en Sicile où il renoue avec ses anciennes habitudes et son mode de vie nonchalant. Lattuada a, d'une part, modifié l'état d'esprit du héros à Milan et, aspect plus important encore, l'époque du roman : Brancati situe son récit, paru en 1942, à son époque, le fascisme, tandis que le cinéaste le transporte à la sienne, celle du miracle économique italien.
