Misadventures of the maid Maria through several employers. Maria, a beautiful but no longer very young waitress, waiting to steal her boyfriend Filiberto who has been postponing the wedding for fifteen years, during a torrid summer constantly changes employers through newspaper ads, finding herself involved in various misadventures.
She initially works with a lawyer, but is fired when the latter, having learned that he has been betrayed by his wife, accuses her of being complicit in her deception. Then hired by a famous prose actor, she manages to reconcile him with her wife, jealous of an actress whose husband has fallen in love.
On the day of August 15, she finds a job with a traveling salesman who is bedridden by an illness, but the apartment is turned upside down by several untimely visitors. She finally takes up service with a math teacher who practices yoga and dabbles in occultism.
During a séance, she learns that her fiancé's uncle has died. The wedding can thus finally be celebrated, despite the fact that before the ceremony it is known that the uncle's inheritance has belonged to the faithful guardian of the villa.[2]
