In this fun musical-comedy romp, an Italian movie producer and his writers are waiting nervously for the arrival of renowned tenor Giulio Moris (Nino Martini), despite not having a script. On his way to Rome, Giulio meets the lovely Mary (Patricia Roc) at a British railway station. When the woman's dog gets in a fight, he saves it. Unfortunately this causes them to miss their train.

Meanwhile, Giulio and Mary must somehow earn enough money to eat supper before the next train arrives. They do it by singing in the street for the locals.
