Dans la voiture détruite sur la route dans la campagne, Léo commence à raconter ce qu'il a fini de traduire.

Beware of a Holy Whore is a satirical meta-film about Fassbinder's previous production, Whity. It opens with a soliloquy (delivered by Werner Schroeter) about the synopsis of a Disney short featuring Goofy, the dog. Goofy cross-dresses in his aunt's clothes to teach a kindergarten class and, after being ridiculed by the class, takes a "poor orphan girl" into his home. The little girl is actually a dwarf gangster, Wee Willy, and he fools Goofy into caring for him by wearing the clothes that Goofy discarded after being ridiculed by the school children. That night Goofy's house is raided by police and Wee Willy is arrested, revealing the "poor orphan girl's" true identity to Goofy. When Willy's true identity is revealed the confused Goofy says, "What a shock that must have been for the poor little girl when she discovered that she is a crook". In both instances—attempting to teach the kindergarten class and caring for Wee Willy—Goofy is beaten by those for whom he only sought to care. This opening soliloquy alludes to the film's underlying themes of violence, self-blindness, and same-sex and bisexual relationships.

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.
