The actress Marina and the ice skater Ditta hope for a big step in their careers as theater agent Brandini hires them on a tour of Italy. But Brandini disappears with the till, and the two girls stay behind in idyllic Taormina . Fortunately they met the assistant director Bobby, who hired Marina as a double for the leading actress and Ditta as an extra in a new film. When Marina, according to the script, takes a jump into the sea, she disappears without a trace.

She wasn't found on the beach until the next morning. She pretends to have lost her memory, and the press puts the picture of the actress who appears to have had a crash on the front pages. Overnight she becomes a star through her trick and, like her friend, gets an engagement for the next ice revue film. In Bobby and unit manager Benno, they both find their husband for life.
