Plot

First segment
Giobatta and Piera are a couple of Italian immigrants in the Netherlands, who barely earn a living selling castagnaccio to the locals. While checking his pockets during a night robbery, some muggers discover Giobatta is well-endowed and take him to the owner of a nightclub, who forcibly hires him as a live sex performer, unbeknownst to Piera. While the profits improve the couple's livelihood, their sexual life suffers. When Piera finds out about Giobatta's moonlighting, she allows him to continue on the condition that she be the female performer. Seeing as Giobatta is too shy to perform with Piera in public, the nightclub owner demotes him to doorman and hires another male performer for Piera.

Second segment
When Antonio's wife and daughter go on holiday, Cristina, a Swedish girl, knocks on his door. The two fall in love and have sex. The day after, Cristina, believing that Antonio has a very clear conception of sex, tells him that his wife had sex with her father.

Third segment
In Rome, a bishop: Ascanio, is stuck in the elevator of a building with a beautiful woman. The bishop was going to see his mistress, but now he is stuck, and then Ascanio goes having a chat with the woman about sexual matters, expressing all his indignation at the manner in which the Italians of that time approach to sex. The woman manifests sound moral principles; but at the end, when the elevator is unlocked, the contradictions of the two characters are shown.
