Vito and Grazia are a Sicilian couple who marry after a series of turbulent events but she is not willing to consummate their marriage, citing her father's sudden death as an excuse. Vito starts making sexual advances to his late father-in-law's secretary Katia, but he has to avoid any scandal for he may lose the rights to his rich father-in-law's inheritance. Soon, the arrival of Grazia's teenage niece Serenella piques Vito's sexual appetite. In the end, he has a plan: he pays a handsome butcher to seduce his wife so that he can file for divorce and be with her niece. But of course, everything goes horribly, terribly out of plan.
