Jerry is a wealthy upper-class American who gets stuck in a small Italian village waiting for his company to arrive. He's getting very bored, so when the hotel waiter tells him about a lovely young American woman named Constance staying in a nearby villa, he decides to drop by unannounced and meet her. Jerry's attitude puts Constance off and she dismisses him without a whole lot of thought. But Jerry sees this as a challenge and goes through a series of charming attempts trying to conquer Constance's heart.
