action
When the attractive American Diana Dixon wins three thousand dollars and a Cadillac from a television quiz, she decides to take a tour of Italy in her new car. When a car breaks down in the city of Siena , she makes the acquaintance of a very charming man who introduces himself to her as Prince Piero di Montalcino. Diana immediately falls in love with him. She assumes that a prince is not only rich in material goods but also in influence. The prince, in turn, believes Diana is the daughter of a wealthy oil baron.
At a costume ball, however, it turns out that Diana comes from a humble background and her father is just a gas station attendant. Piero struggles with this realization, is also disappointed and withdraws from Diana. Diana has now also discovered that she has made a mistake, and that the prince is by no means rich, but on the contrary has to fight financial problems. Since her feeling for Piero is real, she wants to prove to him that a person's worth does not depend on his bank account. As she is an excellent rider, she signs up for the famous Palio di Siena horse race , one of the toughest in the world, and wins it. But she also wins back something that is much more important to her: Piero.
