The film presents the tale of Agnese Ascalone, daughter of prominent miner Vincenzo Ascalone, and takes place in a small town in Sicily, as did Germi's previous film Divorce, Italian Style. Agnese is seduced by her sister Matilde's fiance, and has a tryst with him for which she confesses and tries to repent, only to be discovered by her mother and father. Vincenzo immediately demands that the man, Peppino Califano, marry his daughter, and antics ensue. The film is a dark satire of Sicilian social customs and honor laws, and is very similar to Divorce, Italian Style.

Italy in the Fifties. The image of grandeur and opulence, brought by the arrival of American troops in 1944, still has its effect on many young Italians. One of them is Ferdinand "Nando" Mericoni (Alberto Sordi), a connoisseur of the American world as represented in American cinema of which he is fervent devotee. Believing his future lies beyond the Atlantic, Nando moves to Rome, americanizing his life by imitating the sounds of American language and trying to recreate a Hollywood setting in his room, in his antics which leave a trail of victims, especially his now desperate parents, and his girlfriend Elvira (Maria Pia Casilio), who, probably allured by his manner, loves him despite everything.

Le film se déroule à Rome après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Fernando « Nando » Mericoni (Alberto Sordi) a un penchant pour tout ce qui vient des États-Unis, les films (son grand héros est John Wayne), le sport (il porte une casquette aux insignes de Joe Di Maggio), la nourriture (ketchup, pop-corn, chewing-gum) et la langue. Il prétend connaître l'anglais, mais ne parle qu'un vulgaire charabia. Il installe un refroidisseur d'eau dans sa chambre, comme il l'a vu à l'ambassade américaine. Toute sa vie est une parodie risible de la vie américaine. Le but ultime de Nando est d'aller en Amérique. Inspiré par le film de Henry Hathaway, Quatorze heures (1951 ) , il monte sur le plus haut mur du Colisée devant une foule des spectateurs, menaçant de sauter si son visa ne lui est pas accordé par l'ambassade des États-Unis.
