Donatella is a simple and honest Roman girl, daughter of a bookbinder and girlfriend of Guido, a gas station owner. One day she finds a woman's handbag containing valuables and documents, and decides to return it to her owner, a wealthy American lady who offers Donatella a job as a secretary as a reward: she has to manage the lady's villa during her absences, a job that does not require any particular commitment and allows Donatella to live for a while in the high society, unknown to her. Donatella casually meets Maurizio, a rich, elegant and well-educated young man, and ends up falling in love. When Maurizio discovers the humble origins of Donatella, he thinks that she has deceived him; but then he is convinced of Donatella's good faith, and thanks also to Guido's honesty, who acknowledges that he is not the right man for Donatella and agrees to leave her free, Donatella and Maurizio end up marrying.
