action
The first episode (book: Eduardo De Filippo , collaboration with Isabella Quarantotti ) tells the story of Adelina, who lives in the Neapolitan poor district of Forcella . Adelina deals in smuggled cigarettes, but in spite of everything she cannot pay her debts, and her husband and her husband Carmine's apartment doesn’t give anything that could be seized. She is said to be arrested so that she can pay off the debt in prison. However, she finds out that pregnant women cannot be detained and are subject to a grace period for up to six months after giving birth. After the birth of the seventh child, however, her husband no longer wants to have sex with her, Adelina cannot produce a certificate and is now supposed to go to prison for good. She turns to the Neapolitans for help, who are collecting money to save them from prison. The episode ends with a big party for Adelina, her husband and the seven children.
The second episode (book: Cesare Zavattini and Bella Billa ) is based on Alberto Moravia's story Troppo ricca . Anna Molteni from the economically up-and-coming city of Milan is a bored industrial wife who has the young writer Renzo as a lover. During a trip together with her luxury car, which her lover is driving, it evades a street boy and causes a sheet metal damage. Anna insults him, and Renzo realizes that Anna is only attached to material goods and that her talk of a new meaning in her life was only feigned. Anna drives back to Milan with a wealthy gentleman, while Renzo waits for the mechanics of the garage.
The third episode (book: Cesare Zavattini) takes place in Rome. The pretty Mara works as a prostitute near Piazza Navona and the ministerial son Augusto Rusconi is her permanent guest. Umberto, a prospective priest, observes Mara from the neighboring balcony, falls in love with her despite the rumors about her way of life and, to the chagrin of his grandmother, begins to think about his calling. Finally, Mara explains to him again that she works as a prostitute. In order to get Umberto back on the "right path", Mara takes a one-week vow of chastity for him and his grandmother. After the interlude with Umberto, Rusconi tries to win Mara over again, but has to wait a week because of the vow.

"The earlier exponents of neorealism Zavattini and de Sica provide largely unimportant stories in a crude, superficial staging."
