Five sketches: (1) La Regina Bella/The Ravishing Queen, in which a man outsmarts the queen who imposes pre-marital endurance tests that no man had yet survived. (2) Guarigione di una pazza per gli uomini/The Crazy Woman, whose illness was but an insatiable lust; (3) Gli Amanti Puniti/The Punished Lovers, when a fake blind husband is 'cured' after having the culprits banished from the tribe; (4) Vendetta di Prostituta/ The Old Prostitute, a woman who takes revenge from the village dignitaries who wrongfully condemned her brother; (5) Che cosa non ha fatto/The Endless Search, in which Simoa tries everything to appease his lust, including dressing as a woman to approach a rich man's wife and their daughters - the man - feigning sex with a mule - and ends up by discovering his perfect match and love with a girl on the seashore. [Some video versions alter the original order of the sketches.]
