Plot

In this Italian romantic comedy set in the beautiful Bay of Naples, Marshal Antonio Carotenuto arrives back in his home town of Sorrento to take care of the local municipal police. Donna Sofia, an attractive fishmonger, has rented the home from the marshal who wants to reclaim his home. The woman refuses to leave but almost accepts marriage to Antonio almost as a joke to make Nicolino, a fisherman who she is genuinely in love with, jealous. She goes along with the marshal's courting, agrees to dump her fiancé and says she will marry him. When the marshal realizes what she is doing, he breaks up with her and decides to pursue his own landlady instead.
